Abstract
The present invention provides potatoes having a tuber yield of potatoes per plant higher than that of non-transformed potatoes cultivated under the same conditions, wherein a gene encoding DNA linking protein belonging to Dof family is introduced in the potatoes. The present invention also provides a method for producing potatoes having a tuber yield of potatoes per plant body higher than that of non-transformed potatoes cultivated under the same conditions, comprising introducing a gene encoding a DNA linking protein belonging to Dof family into the potatoes, and expressing said gene in the potatoes.
Claims6
A method for producing a potato plant which bears potatoes, wherein said plant has a tuber yield of potatoes per plant higher than that of a non-transformed potato plant cultivated under the same conditions, comprising introducing a gene encoding maize Dof 1 into the potato plant, and expressing said gene.
A method for producing a potato plant which bears potatoes, wherein said plant has a starch content in the tuber higher than that of a non-transformed potato plant cultivated under the same conditions, comprising introducing a gene encoding maize Dof 1 into the potato plant, and expressing said gene.
A method for producing a potato plant which bears potatoes wherein said plant has a starch content per plant higher than that of a non-transformed potato plant cultivated under the same conditions, comprising introducing a gene encoding maize Dof 1 into the potato plant, and expressing said gene.
A method for producing starch comprising cultivating a potato plant which bears potatoes, wherein said plant has a tuber yield of potatoes per plant higher than that of a non-transformed potato plant cultivated under the same conditions, and wherein said potato plant has been transformed with a gene encoding maize Dof 1, and isolating starch from the yielded tubers.
A potato plant comprising a tuber part and a leaf part, wherein said tuber yield is higher than that of a non-transformed potato plant, wherein a gene encoding maize Dof 1 is introduced into the potato plant.
