Abstract
A method for producing temperature-tolerant plants, which comprises transforming a plant with a recombinant vector carrying a gene encoding choline oxidase, as well as temperature-tolerant plants produced by said method or progenies thereof having the same properties.
Claims9
A method for producing a temperature-tolerant higher plant, which comprises transforming a higher plant with a recombinant vector carrying a gene encoding choline oxidase,
- wherein said gene encoding choline oxidase comprises a nucleotide sequence encoding the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2;
- and
- wherein temperature-tolerant is defined as the ability to grow at higher or lower temperatures than the temperatures which normally allow non-transformed plants of the same species to grow.
A temperature-tolerant higher plant that has been transformed with a gene encoding choline oxidase having an amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:2 or a progeny thereof having the same temperature-tolerant properties of the parent, wherein said progeny comprises said gene, and
- wherein temperature-tolerant is defined as the ability to grow at higher or lower temperatures than the temperatures which normally allow non-transformed plants of the same species to grow.
