Abstract
The present subject matter provides a method for enhancing the abiotic stress tolerance of a plant. Polynucleotides isolated from rice (Oryza sativa) and encoding polypeptides for abiotic stress tolerance are also described.
Claims11
A transgenic plant comprising an isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence, the nucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 51;
- (b) a nucleotide sequence that is at least 95% identical to (a);
- (c) a nucleotide sequence fully complementary to (a) or (b);
- and
- (d) a nucleotide sequence which is the reverse complement of (a) or (b),
- wherein the nucleotide sequence encodes the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO. 52, wherein the transgenic plant has enhanced drought resistance compared to a non-transgenic plant.
A transgenic plant comprising an isolated nucleic acid molecule comprising a nucleotide sequence, its full complement, or its full reverse complement, the nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 52;
- (b) a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence that is at least 95% identical to and having a function as a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 52;
- and
- (c) a polypeptide having an amino acid sequence encoded by a nucleotide sequence and having a function as a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 52, wherein the nucleotide sequence is at least 95% identical to the nucleotide sequence of SEQ ID NO. 51, or a sequence fully complementary thereto,
- wherein the transgenic plant has enhanced drought resistance compared to a non-transgenic plant.
A transgenic plant comprising the isolated nucleic acid molecule of SEQ ID NO:
- 51, wherein the transgenic plant has enhanced drought resistance compared to a non-transgenic plant.
A transgenic plant comprising an isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding a polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO. 52, wherein the transgenic plant has enhanced drought resistance compared to a non-transgenic plant.
