  • Down-regulation of auxin responsive genes for improved plant performance
    Patent number: 9701975
    Abstract: Methods for modulating plants using optimized ZmSAUR down-regulation constructs are disclosed. Also disclosed are nucleotide sequences, constructs, vectors, and modified plant cells, as well as transgenic plants displaying increased seed and/or biomass yield, improved tolerance to abiotic stress such as drought or high plant density, improved nitrogen utilization efficiency, increased ear tissue growth or kernel number.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 20, 2013
    Date of Patent: July 11, 2017
    Assignee: PIONEER HI-BRED INTERNATIONAL, INC.
    Inventors: Olga Nikolaevna Danilevskaya, Paulette Marie Gardner, Guofu Li, Brooke Peterson-Burch, Lisa I. Hagen
  • GENES CONTROLLING PHOTOPERIOD SENSITIVITY IN MAIZE AND SORGHUM AND USES THEREOF
    Publication number: 20150252377
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides polynucleotide sequences controlling the photoperiod sensitive trait in maize. The disclosure provides polynucleotide sequences and the use of encoded polypeptides associated with the photoperiod sensitivity. The disclosed sequences are responsible for controlling plant growth, source-sink relationships and yield in crop plants.
