Zusammenfassung:Methods for increasing the product yield from plants, preferably transgenic plants, are provided. It has been discovered that in vitro cultures from donor plants produce plants that have two or three fold increase in product yield. One embodiment provides a method for increasing product yield from a transgenic plant by initiating an in vitro culture from a donor transgenic plant, wherein the donor transgenic plant is genetically engineered to produce a product and regenerating a second transgenic plant from the in vitro culture, wherein the yield of the product from the second transgenic plant is greater than the yield of the product from the donor transgenic plant. In a preferred embodiment, the transgenic plant is a graminaceous plant such as switchgrass.
