Abstract
The present invention provides a method of producing transgenic plants which are drought resistant, plants obtainable by the method and uses thereof.
Claims37
A transgenic plant expressing a nucleic acid construct comprising a nucleic acid encoding SEQ ID NO:
- 3 or a polypeptide having at least 95% identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 3, wherein said plant exhibits increased drought resistance compared to a plant not comprising said nucleic acid molecule.
A vector comprising a nucleic acid encoding SEQ ID NO:
- 3 or a polypeptide having at least 95% identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 3 operably linked to a stress-inducible promoter.
A method of increasing stress resistance in a plant, the method comprising mutating the genome of said plant such that said plant has increased expression of a nucleic acid encoding SEQ ID NO:
- 3 or a polypeptide having at least 95% identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 3.
A method for increasing yield or drought resistance of a plant said method comprising introducing and expressing in said plant a nucleic acid construct comprising nucleic acid encoding SEQ ID NO:
- 3 or a polypeptide having at last 95% identity to SEQ ID NO:
- 3.
