Abstract
Provided are genetic material and nucleic acid sequences useful in increasing yield, biomass, growth rate, vigor, nitrogen use efficiency and/or abiotic stress tolerance, preferably tolerance to nutrient deficiency of a plant. Specifically, the improvement of nitrogen fixation properties in cultivated plants is described.
Claims21
A method of increasing yield, biomass, growth rate, vigor, nitrogen gain derived from biological nitrogen fixation, nitrogen use efficiency, abiotic stress tolerance and/or preferably of increasing tolerance to nutrient deficiency of a plant, comprising introducing isolated genetic material of Oryza longistaminata to a target plant or plant cell.
