International Classification:

C12N 15/82

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides modified, transgenic, or genome edited/mutated corn plants that are semi-dwarf and have one or more improved ear traits relative to a control plant, such as increase in ear diameter, ear fresh weight, and single kernel weight, and increased yield. The modified, transgenic, or genome edited/mutated corn plants comprise a transgene encoding one or more molybdenum cofactor (Moco) biosynthesis polypeptides and have a reduced expression of one or more GA20 or GA3 oxidase genes. Also provided are methods for producing the modified, transgenic, or genome edited/mutated corn plants.

International Classification:

C12N 15/82

Abstract:

This disclosure provides recombinant DNA constructs and modified or transgenic plants having enhanced traits such as increased yield, increased nitrogen use efficiency, and enhanced drought tolerance or water use efficiency. Modified or transgenic plants may include field crops as well as plant propagules, plant parts and progeny of such modified or transgenic plants. Methods of making and using such modified or transgenic plants are also provided, as are methods of producing seed from such modified or transgenic plants, growing such seed, and selecting progeny plants with enhanced traits. Further disclosed are modified or transgenic plants with altered phenotypes or traits which are useful for screening and selecting transgenic events, edits or mutations with a desired enhanced trait.
