Abstract
This invention provides transgenic plant cells with recombinant DNA for expression of proteins that are useful for imparting enhanced agronomic trait(s) to transgenic crop plants. This invention also provides transgenic plants and progeny seed comprising the transgenic plant cells where the plants are selected for having an enhanced trait selected from the group of traits consisting of enhanced water use efficiency, enhanced cold tolerance, increased yield, enhanced nitrogen use efficiency, enhanced seed protein and enhanced seed oil. Also disclosed are methods for manufacturing transgenic seed and plants with enhanced traits.

1-12. (canceled)
A transgenic plant cell comprising a stably integrated, recombinant DNA transgene, wherein the recombinant DNA transgene comprises a promoter that is functional in said plant cell and that is operably linked to a protein coding DNA sequence encoding a protein comprising an amino acid sequence with at least 80% identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 411.
A method for producing a transgenic plant comprising:
- (a) transforming plant cells with a recombinant DNA transgene, wherein the recombinant DNA transgene comprises a promoter that is functional in said plant cell and that is operably linked to a protein coding DNA sequence encoding a flavohemoglobin protein comprising an amino acid sequence with at least 80% identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 411;
- (b) regenerating plants from said transformed plant cells;
- and
- (c) selecting one or more transgenic plants transformed with the recombinant DNA transgene.
A recombinant DNA construct comprising a protein coding DNA sequence encoding a flavohemoglobin protein comprising an amino acid sequence with at least 70% identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 411 operably linked to a promoter functional in plant cells.
