Title
Enhanced ADP-glucose pyrophosphorylase activity in wheat endosperm increases seed yield
Eric D. Smidansky; Maureen Clancy; Fletcher D. Meyer; et al. Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 2002. doi:10.1073/pnas.022635299
Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation The Sh2r6hs transgene remained functional after five generations in wheat.
- Intervention effect Developing seeds of transgenic wheat showed increased AGP activity across orthophosphate concentrations.
- Intervention effect Total biomass increased by 31% in Sh2r6hs wheat.
- Mechanism The authors attribute increased seed yield and biomass to resource availability and use following enhanced sink strength.
