Patent

CA 2594541

The present invention concerns a method for increasing plant yield in plants grown under non-stress conditions, by preferentially increasing activity in a plastid of an EFTu polypeptide or a homologue thereof. One such method comprises introducing into a plant an EFTu nucleic acid or variant thereof. The invention also relates to transgenic plants having introduced therein an EFTu nucleic acid or variant thereof, which plants have increased yield, particularly increased seed yield, relative to corresponding wild type plants. The present invention also concerns constructs useful in the methods of the invention.

La présente invention concerne un procédé destiné à accroître le rendement de plantes chez des plantes cultivées dans des conditions sans stress consistant de préférence à augmenter l'activité dans un plaste d'un polypeptide EFTu ou un homologue de celui-ci. Un tel procédé consiste à introduire dans une plante un acide nucléique d'EFTu ou un variant de celui-ci. L'invention concerne également des plantes transgéniques dans lesquelles a été introduit un acide nucléique EFTu ou un variant de celui-ci, lesquelles plantes présentent un rendement accru, en particulier un rendement accru en semences, par rapport à des plantes correspondantes de type sauvage. La présente invention concerne également des constructions utiles dans les procédés de l'invention.
