Estimating the term…
The present disclosure provides modified, transgenic, or genome edited/mutated corn plants that are semi-dwarf and have one or more improved ear traits relative to a control plant, such as increase in ear diameter, ear fresh weight, and single kernel weight, and increased yield. The modified, transgenic, or genome edited/mutated corn plants comprise a transgene encoding one or more molybdenum cofactor (Moco) biosynthesis polypeptides and have a reduced expression of one or more GA20 or GA3 oxidase genes. Also provided are methods for producing the modified, transgenic, or genome edited/mutated corn plants.
A modified corn plant or a plant part thereof comprising 1) a first recombinant expression cassette comprising a transcribable DNA sequence encoding a non-coding RNA for suppression of gibberellic acid 20 (GA20) oxidase 3 and/or GA20 oxidase 5 genes, and 2) a second recombinant expression cassette comprising a DNA sequence encoding a molybdenum cofactor (Moco) biosynthesis polypeptide.
