Novel genes and rna molecules that confer stress tolerance

Abstract

Non-coding RNA molecules that include the sequence 5′-UUAUUU-3′, the expression of which confers resistance or tolerance to abiotic and biotic stresses, are described, as are genes encoding the same, expression cassettes and vectors harboring such genes, and transgenic eukaryotic organisms that express such RNAs.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
