Abstract
This invention provides means for altering the harvest index of crop plants by modulating the expression of transgenic genes using dimerization domain and component stacks, thereby modulating plant architecture. The transgene/dimerization domain stacks are provided in a single transformation vector unit and are used to modulate plant growth, yield, and harvest index in plants.
Claims13
A recombinant nucleic acid encoding a dimerization domain, the dimerization domain comprising the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 19, wherein the nucleic acid encoding the dimerization domain is operably linked to a tissue-preferred promoter.
