METHODS OF INCREASING PROTEIN, OIL, AND/OR AMINO ACID CONTENT IN A PLANT

The present invention relates to methods for increasing the protein, oil, and/or amino acid content of a plant. The methods involve the manipulation of the expression level of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) homologs. Expression cassettes for achieving such gene expression manipulation and tran...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	The present invention relates to methods for increasing the protein, oil, and/or amino acid content of a plant. The methods involve the manipulation of the expression level of trehalose-6-phosphate synthase (TPS) homologs. Expression cassettes for achieving such gene expression manipulation and transgenic plant cells and plants comprising the constructs and cassettes are also provided. Methods of plant breeding using these plants have also been developed.
