Abstract
There are provided a method for promoting plant biomass by overexpression of a gene coding a small GTP binding protein RabG3b or mutants thereof, a vector including the gene, a transgenic plant comprising the expression vector and a method for preparing the transgenic plant.
Claims4
A method for promoting late stage xylem development of a plant comprising:
- overexpressing a gene encoding a mutant RabG3b protein in the plant, wherein the mutant RabG3b protein comprises the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:
- 1 having a leucine at the 67th residue of the sequence SEQ ID NO:
- 1;
- and
- selecting a plant having a phenotype of promoted tracheary element differentiation compared to the wild-type.
