Abstract
The invention provides a method of improving the yield of a crop. The method comprises growing transgenic plants to produce a crop, the transgenic plants being able to metabolize at least one synthetic auxin. A synthetic auxin is applied to the plants at least once during their growth, the synthetic auxin being one that can be metabolized by the transgenic plants. Finally, the crop is harvested.
