Abstract
The invention involves decreasing the intracellular availability of trehalose-6-phosphate by plant cell transformation with a gene encoding trehalose-6-phosphate phosphatase from E. coli. Phenotypic effects of plant transformation with this gene include stimulation of glycolysis, cell or tissue growth, and metabolism; and inhibition of photosynthesis and bolting.
