Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A stomata-increasing agent containing a compound capable of increasing the number and/or density of stomata in a plant, a polypeptide containing the amino acid sequence shown in SEQ ID NO: 6 or a variant thereof, a method for increasing the number and/or density of stomata in a plant and a method for increasing the yield of a plant are provided.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A method for increasing a number, a density, or a number and a density, of stomata in a plant, the method comprising administering a polypeptide to a plant, wherein the polypeptide consists essentially of (A) SEQ ID NO:6, or (B) an amino acid sequence that is 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:6. 2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the plant is a vascular plant. 3. A method for increasing the yield of a plant, the method comprising administering a polypeptide to a plant, wherein the polypeptide consists essentially of (A) SEQ ID NO:6, or (B) an amino acid sequence that is 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:6. 4. A method for increasing a number, a density, or a number and a density, of stomata in a plant, the method comprising overexpressing a polypeptide in a plant, wherein the polypeptide consists essentially of (A) SEQ ID NO:6, or (B) an amino acid sequence that is 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:6. 5. A method for increasing the yield of a plant, the method comprising overexpressing a polypeptide in a plant, wherein the polypeptide consists essentially of (A) SEQ ID NO:6, or (B) an amino acid sequence that is 95% identical to SEQ ID NO:6. 6. The method of claim 1 , comprising administering the polypeptide that consists essentially of SEQ ID NO:6. 7. The method of claim 3 , comprising administering the polypeptide that consists essentially of SEQ ID NO:6. 8. The method of claim 4 , comprising overexpressing a polypeptide that consists essentially of SEQ ID NO:6. 9. The method of claim 5 , comprising overexpressing a polypeptide that consists essentially of SEQ ID NO:6. 10. The method of claim 3 , wherein the plant is a vascular plant. 11. The method of claim 4 , wherein the plant is a vascular plant. 12. The method of claim 5 , wherein the plant is a vascular plant.
