A process of modifiying cellulose production, increasing stress resistance or increasing plant growth and yield in plants by inserting a DNA sequence encoding a product which modifies the level of cellulose precursors in the plant

摘要

The process of increasing plant growth and yield comprises introducing into a plant a DNA sequence encoding a product such as an enzyme, protein or RNA that modifies the level of cellulose precursors in the plant. The process of modifying the production of cellulose in a plant or increasing the resistance of a plant to stress comprises introducing into and expressing in the plant a DNA sequence encoding a product such as an enzyme, protein or RNA that modifies the level of cellulose precursors in the plant. The DNA sequence preferably can comprise the UDPG-PPase gene.
