Abstract
The present invention enables production of a plant resistant to environmental stresses including drought and high salt concentration. The invention increases stress resistance to a plant by increasing galactinol content in the plant.
Claims9
A method for increasing stress resistance to a plant which comprises introducing a glactinol synthetase gene into the plant body.
A method for increasing stress resistance to a plant which comprises increasing galactinol content in the plant body.
A method for increasing stress resistance to a plant which comprises improving galactinol syntheteic acitvity in the plant body.
A method for increasing stress resistance to a plant which comprises excessively expressing the following protein (e) or (f) in the plant body:
- (e) a protein comprising an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:
- 1,
- (f) a protein comprising an amino acid sequence differing from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 1 by deletion, substitution or addition of at least one or more amino acids, and having galactinol synthetic activity.
A method for increasing stress resistance to a plant which comprises excessively expressing the following protein (g) or (h) in the plant body:
- (g) a protein comprising an amino acid sequence represented by SEQ ID NO:
- 2,
- (h) a protein comprising an amino acid sequence differing from the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 2 by deletion, substitution or addition of at least one or more amino acids, and having galactinol synthetic activity.
