Claims
The present invention relates to a genetic modification for improving plant characteristics useful in agriculture. The particular embodiments provide uses of plants containing said genetic modification, as well as methods for producing plants with said genetic modification and plant products that can be obtained from them.
1. A plant with at least one improved agronomic trait, wherein said plant comprises a genetic modification that results in increased expression of the APC7 gene compared to an identical plant, except for the presence of said genetic modification, wherein the improved agronomic trait is selected from the group consisting of increased photosynthetic efficiency, increased carbon fixation, increased internal water use efficiency, and increased resistance to heat stress compared to an identical plant, except for the presence of said genetic modification.
16. Method for producing a plant with improved agronomic characteristics, wherein the method comprises crossing a plant as defined in any of claims 1 to 14 with a second plant to produce a progeny of plants with improved agronomic characteristics.
