Abstract
Genetic constructs capable of manipulating fructan biosynthesis in photosynthetic cells of a plant include a promoter, or functionally active fragment or variant thereof, operatively linked to a nucleic acid encoding a bacterial FT enzyme, or a functionally active fragment or variant thereof. Such constructs can be used in the modification of fructan biosynthesis in plants and, more particularly, to methods of manipulating fructan biosynthesis in photosynthetic cells, for increasing plant biomass and, more particularly, to methods of enhancing biomass yield and/or yield stability, including shoot and/or root growth in a plant, and for enhancing the productivity of biochemical pathways.
