| 20100306874 | YIELD ENHANCEMENT IN PLANTS BY MODULATION OF ZMPKT - Compositions and methods for modulating flower organ development, leaf formation, phototropism, apical dominance, fruit development, initiation of roots, and for increasing yield in a plant are provided. The compositions include a ZmPKT sequence. Compositions of the invention comprise amino acid sequences and nucleotide sequences selected from SEQ ID NOS: 1 and 2 as well as variants and fragments thereof. Nucleotide sequences encoding the ZmPKT polypeptides are provided in DNA constructs for expression in a plant of interest are provided for modulating the level of a ZmPKT sequence in a plant or a plant part are provided. The methods comprise introducing into a plant or plant part a heterologous polynucleotide comprising a ZmPKT sequence of the invention. The level of the ZmPKT polypeptide can be increased or decreased. Such method can be used to increase the yield in plants; in one embodiment, the method is used to increase grain yield in cereals. | 12-02-2010 |
