Title:
MODULATING PLANT CARBON LEVELS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2006062971
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Methods and materials for modulating (e.g., increasing or decreasing) carbon levels in plants are disclosed. For example, nucleic acids encoding carbon-modulating polypeptides are disclosed as well as methods for using such nucleic acids to transform plant cells. Also disclosed are plants having increased carbon levels.
