  • COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR IMPROVING CROP YIELDS THROUGH TRAIT STACKING
    Publication number: 20230265132
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides modified, transgenic, or genome edited/mutated corn plants that are semi-dwarf and have one or more improved ear traits relative to a control plant, such as increase in ear area, increased single kernel weight, increased ear fresh weight, increased number of florets, and mitigated flowering delay. The modified, transgenic, or genome edited/mutated corn plants comprise a transgene encoding one or more CONSTANS (CO) or CONSTANS-like (COL) polypeptide and have a reduced expression of one or more GA20 or GA3 oxidase genes. Also provided are methods for producing the modified, transgenic, or genome edited/mutated corn plants.
    Type: Application
    Filed: August 25, 2022
    Publication date: August 24, 2023
    Applicants: Monsanto Technology LLC, BASF Plant Science LP, BASF Plant Science Company GmbH
    Inventors: Leonardo ALVES-JUNIOR, Wesley B. Bruce, Charles R. Dietrich, Natalia Ivleva, Kian Kiani, Ryan Rapp, Thomas L. Slewinski
