Abstract

Methods for Increasing Plant Growth This invention relates to methods for increasing growth and biomass accumulation in woody perennial plants, in particular in trees and other forestry crops, by increasing sucrose-phosphate synthase (SPS) activity in the plant, for example, by expression of a heterologous nucleic acid encoding an SPS polypeptide.
