Abstract
An object of the present invention is to provide a means for conferring a useful phenotype to a plant by efficiently controlling the quantitative productivity of iP-type and tZ-type active cytokinins in plant aerial organs. According to the present invention, a method for increasing plant biomass by causing the overexpression of an active cytokinin synthase gene and a cytokinin hydroxylase gene in a plant body is provided.
Claims15
A method for producing a transgenic plant with increased biomass, comprising introducing an active cytokinin synthase gene and a cytokinin hydroxylase gene into a plant cell so that they can be co-expressed, and regenerating a plant body from the plant cell.
A method for increasing plant biomass, comprising overexpressing an active cytokinin synthase gene and a cytokinin hydroxylase gene in a plant body.
A transgenic plant, wherein an active cytokinin synthase gene and a cytokinin hydroxylase gene are introduced to increase biomass.
