General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function cotton plants transformed with a tomato fructokinase gene (FRK1) under the control of the CMV 35S promoter show increased fibre and leaf FRK activity over nonexpressing nulls, but not improved fibre length and strength. Compared with the nulls, FRK1 plants yield 13-100% more seed-cotton mass per boll and more bolls per. The enhanced yield is related to a greater seed number per boll for FRK1 plants. Photosynthetic rates are not appreciably different among genotypes. However, more area per leaf and leaf number for FRK1 plants than for nulls enhances the capacity for C gain. Larger leaf areas for FRK1 plants are associated with larger stem diameters Solanum lycopersicum
