摘要: Genes can be introduced into plants that confer desirable traits such as, drought and stress tolerance, insect pest resistance, as well for enhancing biofuel production, increased vegetative biomass prolonged growth. The development of reproductive structures diverts resources from growth resulting in lower fixed growing seasons. Disclosed herein are methods compositions generating controlled seasons the purpose increasing used biofuels.
