B-17 Gene Technology Increasing Crop Size

Technology Benefits

Can enhance the crop yielding Can be applied to both Monocotyledon and Dicotyledon Gene-transformation experiment proved its efficacy

Technology Application

Increasing yields of crops May apply to other crops such as corn and wheat

Detailed Technology Description

With the gene-over-expression, the crop size in length is increased by almost 30%. On the other and, with the gene-suppressed-expression, the length was decreased by almost 30%.The height of the hybrid plant (F1) became taller after the hybridization between normal rice and gene-over-expressing transgenic rice. The size of crop from the F1 plant remained bigger than the size of normal rice.In addition, researchers confirmed this gene increased seed weight of Arabidopsis thaliana by almost 100%.
