Abstract
Compositions and methods are provided for modifying a trait of a plant. Isolated polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences are provided, along with an expression vector comprising the isolated polynucleotide, a host cell comprising the isolated polynucleotide, and a transgenic plant comprising the isolated polynucleotide. Also provided is a method for producing a transgenic plant, a method for screening for a compound that may modify the trait and a method for identifying other homologous polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences.
Claims5
A transgenic plant transformed with a polynucleotide comprising a nucleotide sequence;
- wherein the nucleotide sequence encodes a polypeptide having at least 90% amino acid sequence identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 162, the polypeptide is a member of the Myb protein family, and the polypeptide comprises a Myb domain;
- wherein the polypeptide regulates expression of at least one gene;
- and wherein when the polypeptide is expressed in the transgenic plant, said expression results in the transgenic plant having greater tolerance to heat as compared to a wild-type plant of the same species.
