Abstract
Polynucleotides and isolated polypeptides, nucleic acid constructs comprising the isolated polynucleotides, transgenic plants expressing same and methods of using same for increasing abiotic stress tolerance, yield, biomass, growth rate, vigor, oil content, fiber yield, fiber quality, and/or nitrogen use efficiency of a plant are disclosed.
Claims13
A method of increasing abiotic stress tolerance of a plant, comprising:
- (a) over-expressing within the plant a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence as set forth by SEQ ID NO:
- 616 as compared to a native plant of the same species which is grown under the same growth conditions, and
- (b) selecting the plant over-expressing said polypeptide for an increased abiotic stress tolerance as compared to said native plant under the same abiotic stress growth conditions,
- thereby increasing the abiotic stress tolerance of the plant.

A method of increasing abiotic stress tolerance of a plant, comprising:
- (a) over-expressing within the plant a polypeptide comprising the amino acid sequence as set forth by SEQ ID NO:
- 616 as compared to a native plant of the same species which is grown under the same growth conditions, and
- (b) selecting the plant over-expressing said polypeptide for:
- (i) an increased trait under salinity stress as compared to said native plant which is grown under the same salinity growth conditions, wherein said trait is selected from the group consisting of dry weight, rosette diameter, rosette area, plot coverage, leaf number, leaf blade area, leaf petiole length, petiole relative area, relative growth rate of rosette area, relative growth rate of rosette diameter and relative growth rate of plot coverage;
- and/or
- (ii) an increased trait under osmotic stress as compared to said native plant which is grown under the same osmotic stress growth conditions, wherein said trait is selected from the group consisting of dry weight, fresh weight, leaf area, root length, root coverage, relative growth rate of root coverage, relative growth rate of leaf area and relative growth rate of root length,
- thereby increasing the abiotic stress tolerance of the plant.
