Abstract: Transcription factor polynucleotides and polypeptides incorporated into nucleic acid constructs, including expression vectors, have been introduced into plants and were ectopically expressed. Transgenic plants transformed with many of these constructs have been shown to have increased tolerance to an abiotic stress (in some cases, to more than one abiotic stress), increased growth, and/or increased biomass. The abiotic stress may include, for example, salt, hyperosmotic stress, water deficit, heat, cold, drought, and/or low nutrient conditions.

Abstract: Disclosed are a herbicide resistance gene and use thereof, wherein 1) the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein is at least more than 80% identical to SEQ ID NO:1; and 2) the encoded protein is capable of resulting in resistance to at least one of the following types of herbicides: acetolactate synthase (ALS)-inhibiting herbicides, protoporphyrinogen oxidase (PPO)-inhibiting herbicides, p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD)-inhibiting herbicides, photosystem II-inhibiting herbicides, and synthetic auxin herbicides.
