Abstract
The present invention is directed to a transgenic plant and a method for producing the same. In particular, the present invention is directed to a transgenic plant or a plant cell in which a nucleic acid molecule encoding an m6A demethylase is introduced, wherein said m6A demethylase has the following two domains: i) N-terminal domain (NTD) having the function of AlkB oxidation demethylase; and ii) C-terminal domain (CTD). The present invention is also directed to a method for producing said plant, comprising introducing a nucleic acid molecule encoding an m6A demethylase into a regenerable plant cell, and regenerating a transgenic plant from the regenerable plant cell.
Claims10
A matured maize or soybean plant expressing a protein having an amino acid sequence selected from SEQ ID NO:
- 1-4, wherein the plant has a yield of seeds at least four fold of that of the average yield of control plants grown under comparable conditions, wherein the control plants do not express the protein.
A preparation of seeds obtained from a plurality of mature plants engineered to express a protein having a sequence selected from SEQ ID NO:
- 1-4,
- wherein the seeds comprise a protein having a sequence selected from SEQ ID NO:
- 1-4 or a nucleic acid encoding a protein having a sequence selected from SEQ ID NO:
- 1-4;
- and
- wherein the preparation of seeds has at least four fold more weight than that from a comparable plurality of the plants not so engineered, and wherein the plants are maize plants, or are soybean plants.
