Patent

CA 2442496

Recombinant polynucleotides and methods for modifying the phenotype of a plant are provided. In preferred embodiments, the phenotype modified is a plant's biomass. Modifying plant biomass leads to improved yields for leafy crops, for example. The method comprises altering the levels of a transcription factor that is introduced into the plant or that is endogenous to the plant to obtain a plant with a larger biomass.

L'invention concerne des polynucléotides recombinés ainsi que des procédés de modification du phénotype d'une plante. Dans des modes préférés de réalisation, le phénotype modifié est la phytomasse. La modification de la phytomasse entraîne par exemple des rendements améliorés de légumes feuilles. Ce procédé consiste à modifier les taux d'un facteur de transcription endogène ou introduit dans la plante pour obtenir une plante à phytomasse plus importante.
