The present disclosure discloses the use of gene encoding gibberellin 3β-hydroxylase of G. max, GmGA3ox1. The use of gibberellin 3β-hydroxylase gene of G. max, GmGA3ox1, set forth in SEQ ID NO:1, in genetic engineering of seed weight of Arabidopsis thaliana and Glycine max. In A. thaliana, overexpression of GmGA3ox1 can complement the low seed weight phenotype of atga3ox1 mutant. In G. max, overexpression of the excellent haplotype of the gene can significantly improve the seed weight of G. max.

The present application provides a new technology to confer or enhance insect resistance and, optionally also resistance to fungal pathogens in plants. In particular, the present invention provides a method for conferring or increasing resistance or tolerance to insect and optionally also to fungal pathogens in maize and oil seed rape (OSR) by targeting the endogenous Lox3 gene. By introducing either a gene silencing construct, a genome editing system or a genome modification, which leads to a targeted knock-down or knock-out of the Lox3 gene endogenous to the plant, a new or increased resistance to insect and, optionally fungal pathogens can be created.

The invention relates to a Canola hybrid variety designated 9CN0089, essentially derived variants of that Canola hybrid variety, to the cells, seeds, plants, and plant parts of this Canola hybrid variety 9CN0089. The invention also relates to methods for producing a canola plant containing in its genetic material one or more traits introgressed into 9CN0089 through backcross conversion and/or transformation, and to the Canola seed, plant and plant part produced thereby. The invention also relates to uses of 9CN0089.

A composition including: (i) a ds RNA molecule of at least 18 contiguous nucleotides that are essentially identical or essentially complementary to a plant gene or a transcript of said plant gene; and (ii) a transfer agent that conditions a surface of a plant to permeation by the ds RNA molecule into cells of the plant; wherein permeation of the ds RNA molecule into cells of the plant causes a transient reduction in the expression of the gene and wherein the transient reduction in the expression of the gene causes a change in a yield-associated trait of the plant.
