The invention relates to plant transcription factor polypeptides, polynucleotides that encode them, homologs from a variety of plant species, and methods of using the polynucleotides and polypeptides to produce transgenic plants having advantageous properties, including increased soluble solids, lycopene, and improved plant volume or yield, as compared to wild-type or control plants. The invention also pertains to expression systems that may be used to regulate these transcription factor polynucleotides, providing constitutive, transient, inducible and tissue-specific regulation.

Methods of improving characteristics of plants and soil by administering an effective amount of a extracted Haematococcus based composition in low concentration applications are disclosed.

The invention discloses a method capable of enabling jatropha curcas to blossom and bear fruits concentratedly. The method comprises the following steps: S1, fertilizing: the jatropha curcas is fertilized after fruit picking every time, 1.5-2.5 kg of organic fertilizers with photosynthesis strengthening agents added are applied to the jatropha curcas according to the size of the jatropha curcas, and 2.5-4.5 kg of the photosynthesis strengthening agents are added to the organic fertilizer per ton; S2, adjusting: blossom-forcing fruit-protecting agents are spayed for once at the beginning of blossoming, and the proportion of female and male blossoms is adjusted. According to the invention, the photosynthesis strengthening agents are added when the jatropha curcas is fertilized, and the blossom-forcing fruit-protecting agents are spayed on the jatropha curcas for once at the beginning of the blossoming to adjust the proportion of the female and male blossoms, so that the jatropha curcas can be controlled to blossom and bear fruits for twice a year, the yield of the jatropha curcas is improved, and the artificial maintenance cost is lowered; the blossom-forcing fruit-protecting agents are sprayed in the full-blossom period to prevent from blossom dropping and fruit dropping, and the jatropha curcas is pruned, so that the yield of the jatropha curcas is further improved; the method is simple and easy to learn and easy to implement.

The invention discloses a novel gene MaOFP1 capable of improving the quality of a plant fruit and relates to a related application of the MaOFP1 gene in improving the quality of the plant fruit. The invention provides a method for cultivating a transgenic plant. In order to inoculate the MaOFP1 gene to a target plant to obtain a transgenic plant having at least one of the following characteristics (1)-(4): (1) the weight of the transgenic plant fruit is greater than that of the target plant fruit; (2) the thickness of the transgenic plant fruit flesh is greater than that of the target plant fruit flesh; (3) the thickness of the transgenic plant fruit peel is greater than that of the target plant fruit peel; and (4) the content of soluble solids in the transgenic plant fruit is greater than that in the target plant fruit, the nucleotide sequence of the MaOFP1 gene is SEQ ID No. 1 in sequence table or nucleotide at the 1st-435th positions from 5' terminal of the SEQ ID No. 1 in sequence table; the amino acid sequence of an encoding product MaOFP1 protein of the MaOFP1 gene is SEQ ID No. 2 in the sequence table. Experiments show that the MaOFP1 gene of a banana fruit is inoculated to a wild-type tomato to obtain the transgenic plant with improved quality and a foundation is laid for plant breeding.
