Abstract
Disclosed herein are transgenic plants having recombinant DNA which expresses a G1073 transcription factor which provides enhanced resistance and/or tolerance to water deficit. More specifically the DNA constructs comprise a polynucleotide which encodes a at least a functional part of a G1073 transcription factor or a homologous transcription factor.
Claims11
A transgenic seed for growing a transgenic plant having in its genome recombinant DNA which expresses a transcription factor comprising the consensus amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:11 and protein which confers at least one of an herbicide resistance trait or a pest resistance trait.
2-4. (canceled)
A method for improving the yield of a crop plant variety as compared to said crop variety lacking recombinant DNA expressing a transcription factor comprising the consensus amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:11 when said crop varieties are grown in a water deficient environment, said method comprising inserting into the genome of said variety recombinant DNA which expresses a transcription factor having consensus amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:11.
A method of improving a hybrid crop plant by crossing a first crop with a second crop wherein pollen from said first crop contains recombinant DNA which expresses a transcription factor comprising the consensus amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:11
A hybrid corn seed which is the progeny of
- (a) a transgenic female ancestor corn plant having in its genome a recombinant DNA which expresses a transcription factor comprising the consensus amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:11;
- (b) a transgenic male ancestor corn plant having in its genome a recombinant DNA which confers at least one of an herbicide resistance trait or a pest resistance trait.
