Abstract
The present disclosure provides modified, transgenic, or genome edited/mutated corn plants that are semi-dwarf and have one or more improved ear traits relative to a control plant, such as increase in ear diameter, single kernel weight, ear fresh weight, ear area, ear volume, ear length, number of kernels per ear, and yield. The modified, transgenic, or genome edited/mutated corn plants comprise a transgene encoding one or more MADS-box polypeptides and have a reduced expression of one or more GA20 or GA3 oxidase genes. Also provided are methods for producing the modified, transgenic, or genome edited/mutated corn plants.
