Title:
COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS OF USE OF ACC OXIDASE POLYNUCLEOTIDES AND POLYPEPTIDES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2014/143996
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Transgenic compositions and methods reduce the expression of endogenous ACC oxidase genes to improve an agronomic characteristic of a crop plant, which may be maize. Yield increase and drought tolerance due to reduction in the endogenous ACC oxidase levels are observed. ACC oxidase genes are identified in maize, rice, and Arabidopsis genomes.
