Transgenic plants with enhanced yield and seed yield
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11965182B2) discloses a transgenic plant containing two or more heterologous enzymes, specifically a pyruvate carboxylase (Pyc) and a malate synthase (AceB), encoded by transgenes. The plant exhibits increased properties such as seed yield or seed oil content compared to non-transgenic plants of the same species. The transgene encoding each enzyme includes a plastid signal peptide directing them to the plastids of the plant, and they are expressed from a seed-specific promoter.
Moreover, the transgenic plant, which can be derived from various species including camelina, Brassica species, soybean, and others, shows a significant increase in properties ranging from 15% to 300% compared to non-transgenic plants. Additionally, the patent includes a method for creating and selecting transgenic plants with enhanced properties, involving growing the plants, measuring the desired properties, and selecting those with improvements over wild-type plants. This innovation opens up possibilities for improving crop productivity and oil content through genetic modification, potentially benefiting agricultural practices and the production of biofuels.
