Modulation of rice MPG1 activity to increase biomass accumulation, grain yield, and stress tolerance in plants

The invention provides methods for improving plant yield, biomass accumulation and stress tolerance. A novel AP2-like transcription factor MPG1, which when modulated impacts grain yield, biomass and abiotic and biotic stress tolerance when compared to non-modulated plants. The invention further prov...

Zusammenfassung:The invention provides methods for improving plant yield, biomass accumulation and stress tolerance. A novel AP2-like transcription factor MPG1, which when modulated impacts grain yield, biomass and abiotic and biotic stress tolerance when compared to non-modulated plants. The invention further provides methods using recombinant expression cassettes, host cells, transgenic plants and breeding methods using the same.
