Abstract
Transgenic seed for crops with improved traits are provided by trait-improving recombinant DNA where plants grown from such transgenic seed exhibit one or more improved traits as compared to a control plant. Of particular interest are transgenic plants that have increased yield. The invention also provides recombinant DNA molecules for expression of a protein.
Claims6
A transgenic seed for a crop plant, wherein the genome of said transgenic seed comprises a recombinant DNA which expresses a protein having the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:
- 481, wherein transgenic plants grown from said seed exhibit increased yield as compared to control plants of the same species lacking said recombinant DNA.
A method of facilitating production of a crop comprising providing to a grower of said crop transgenic seeds, wherein the genome of said transgenic seeds comprises a recombinant DNA which expresses a protein having the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:
- 481, and wherein plants grown from said transgenic seeds exhibit increased yield as compared to control plants of the same species lacking said recombinant DNA;
- and obtaining from said transgenic seeds transgenic plants comprising said recombinant DNA, thereby facilitating production of said crop.
A method of producing a plant comprising planting transgenic seeds, wherein the genome of said transgenic seeds comprises recombinant DNA which expresses a protein having the amino acid sequence SEQ ID NO:
- 481, so that at least one plant grown from said transgenic seeds exhibits increased yield as compared to control plants of the same species lacking said recombinant DNA;
- and harvesting said at least one plant.
