Methods and genes for producing land plants with increased expression of mitochondrial metabolite transporter and/or plastidial dicarboxylate transporter genes

摘要

A land plant is disclosed. The land plant has increased expression of a mitochondrial transporter protein such that the flux of metabolites through the mitochondrial membrane is increased and the land plant has higher performance and/or yield as compared to a reference land plant not having the increased expression of the mitochondrial transporter protein. Another land plant also is disclosed. The land plant has increased expression of a plastidial dicarboxylate transporter protein such that the flux of metabolites through the plastidial membrane is increased and the land plant has higher performance and/or yield as compared to a reference land plant not having the increased expression of the plastidial dicarboxylate transporter protein.
