The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for delivering a polynucleotide from the exterior surface of a plant or plant part into the interior of a plant cell. More specifically, the present disclosure relates to compositions comprising at least one polynucleotide and at least one agent that is able to disrupt at least one barrier of the plant or plant part.

Compositions and methods for delivery of a polynucleotide into a plant

The present disclosure provides compositions and methods for introducing nucleic acids into plants. More specifically, disclosed herein are methods and compositions for introducing a nucleic acid, such as a double-stranded RNA, for silencing a target gene in a plant. Also disclosed herein are plants exhibiting modification of a target gene, obtained through the use of such methods and compositions.

Methods and compositions for introducing nucleic acids into plants

The present invention provides novel compositions for use to enhance crop performance. Specifically, the present invention provides for increased invertase activity, increased sugar content and/or delayed senescence plants. The present invention also provides for combinations of compositions and methods that increase invertase activity, increase sugar content and/or delay senescence in plants.
