  • PLANTS CONTAINING A HETEROLOGOUS FLAVOHEMOGLOBIN GENE AND METHODS OF USE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20150275224
    Abstract: Plant nitrogen use efficiency in corn has been improved by transformation with a flavohemoglobin gene. Plants comprising a flavohemoglobin gene have decreased nitric oxide (NO) levels, increased biomass accumulation under a sufficient nitrogen growth condition, and increased chlorophyll content under a limiting nitrogen growth condition. Additionally, these transformed plants evidence higher levels of yield.
    Type: Application
    Filed: April 13, 2015
    Publication date: October 1, 2015
