Abstract
Polynucleotides are disclosed which are capable of enhancing a growth, yield under water-limited conditions, and/or increased tolerance to an environmental stress of a plant transformed to contain such polynucleotides. Also provided are methods of using such polynucleotides and transgenic plants and agricultural products, including seeds, containing such polynucleotides as transgenes.
Claims5
A transgenic plant transformed with an expression cassette comprising an isolated polynucleotide encoding a full-length polypeptide having a sequence as set forth in any one of SEQ ID NOs:
- 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, 30, 32, 34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44, 46, 48, 50, 52, 54, 56, 58, 60, 62, 64, 66, 68, 70, 72, 74, 76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90, 92, 94, 96, 98, and 100.
An isolated polynucleotide having a sequence selected from the group consisting of the polynucleotide sequences set forth in Table 1.
An isolated polypeptide having a sequence selected from the group consisting of the polypeptide sequences set forth in Table 1.
A method of producing a transgenic plant comprising at least one polynucleotide listed in Table 1, wherein expression of the polynucleotide in the plant results in the plant's increased growth and/or yield under normal or water-limited conditions and/or increased tolerance to an environmental stress as compared to a wild type variety of the plant comprising the steps of:
- (a) introducing into a plant cell an expression vector comprising at least one polynucleotide listed in Table 1, and
- (b) generating from the plant cell a transgenic plant that expresses the polynucleotide,
- wherein expression of the polynucleotide in the transgenic plant results in the plant's increased growth and/or yield under normal or water-limited conditions and/or increased tolerance to environmental stress as compared to a wild type variety of the plant.
A method of increasing a plant's growth and/or yield under normal or water-limited conditions and/or increasing a plant's tolerance to an environmental stress comprising the steps of increasing the expression of at least one polynucleotide listed in Table 1 in the plant.
