Abstract
The present invention relates to OsNF-YA5 gene from Oryza sativa for increasing nitrogen availability of plant and uses thereof. Since the OsNF-YA5 gene of the present invention can increase or improve nitrogen availability of a plant, it can be advantageously used for developing a plant which enables lesser consumption of nitrogen fertilizer while maintaining the same plant yield, i.e., an environment friendly plant with lower production cost.
Claims9
A method for increasing nitrogen availability of a plant compared to a non-transgenic plant, the method comprising:
- transforming a plant cell with a recombinant vector which contains the gene encoding the Oryza sativa-derived OsNF-YA5 (Oryza sativa Nuclear Factor Y subunit A5) protein to overexpress the gene encoding the OsNF-YA5 protein.
A method for producing a transformed plant with increased nitrogen availability compared to a non-transgenic plant, the method comprising:
- transforming a plant cell with a recombinant vector which includes the gene encoding the Oryza sativa-derived OsNF-YA5 protein;
- and
- regenerating a plant from the transformed plant cell.
