  • MODULATION OF ACC SYNTHASE IMPROVES PLANT YIELD UNDER LOW NITROGEN CONDITIONS
    Publication number: 20150284737
    Abstract: The invention provides methods for improving plant yield, particularly under nitrogen limiting conditions. According to the invention, applicants have discovered that modulating ACC synthase activity in plants improves yield of plants, even when grown under low nitrogen conditions. The same plants, while demonstrating improved yield over non-modified plants, exhibited no deleterious effects under normal nitrogen conditions. The invention further provides methods using recombinant expression cassettes, host cells and transgenic plants.
    Type: Application
