Abstract
Transgenic seed for crops with improved traits are provided by trait-improving recombinant DNA where plants grown from such transgenic seed exhibit one or more improved traits as compared to a control plant. Also provided are methods of making transgenic plants with recombinant DNA and the one or more improved traits and methods of using those plants.
Claims7
A method of producing a crop comprising growing transgenic seed for a crop, wherein the genome of said transgenic seed comprises a recombinant DNA comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a protein having an amino acid sequence with at least 99% amino acid sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 505 and having the function of the protein of SEQ ID NO:
- 505, thereby producing a population of transgenic plants, and selecting from the population transgenic plants a transgenic plant which expresses said protein encoded by said nucleotide sequence and having an enhanced trait as compared to a control plant of the same plant species lacking said recombinant DNA in their nuclei, wherein said enhanced trait is selected from the group of enhanced traits consisting of enhanced cold tolerance, enhanced heat tolerance, enhanced resistance to salt exposure, enhanced yield and enhanced nitrogen use efficiency.
