Improvement of Biomass and Grain Yield in Crop Plants

VTIP:10-069

A rice transcription factor gene (HYR) increases plant biomass and photosynthetic rates leading to an increase in grain yield. In addition, transformed rice plants display improved water use efficiency and exhibit significantly higher biomass accumulation as well as grain yield over wild type control plants under drought conditions. ...

Glenn Soybean

VTIP:09-166

Glenn has white flowes, tawny pubescence, tan pods, yellow seed coats, and black hila. The mean seed size is 13.4g/100 seed. Mean height is 27.6 inches, 5.1 inches shorter than 5601T. V98-2711 is a Group V cultivar, maturing on average 2 days earlier than 5601T, and is ...

Regulation of Lignin and Cellulose Accumulation in Plants

VTIP:09-162

The method describes the use of plant genes that coordinately alter the lignin and cell wall composition and allow improved lignocellulosic extraction. This method improves feedstocks such as miscanthus, switchgrass, sorghum, rice and other grasses so as to generate lignocellulosic biomass which is efficiently digested by enzymes in bioethanol ...

Low Phytic Acid, High Sucrose and Low Stachyose Soybean Lines

VTIP:07-137

Novel soybean lines having high levels of sucrose but low phytic acid and stachyose content. The soybeans are easily digested and provide high energy content for animals and humans.

Low phytic acid content permits animal feed to be produced that does not require phytase, yet does not result in significant ...

VTIP:07-005

Six-row hulless winter barley

Moderately early heading

Long awned

Very good straw strength

High test weight, and plump seed

Potential feedstock for bioethanol production
