EXTRA-CHROMOSOMAL CIRCULAR DNA-MEDIATED ENGINEERING OF PLANT TRAITS

摘要

Methods of modifying plants by amplifying native or introducing extrachromosomal circular plant DNA comprising one or more exogenous or endogenous genes conferring an agronomically useful trait when expressed in a plant, or disrupting the association or tethering of endogenous extrachromosomal circular plant DNA with endogenous chromosomes in a plant to change one or more plant traits.
