  • INTERFERING WITH HD-ZIP TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR REPRESSION OF GENE EXPRESSION TO PRODUCE PLANTS WITH ENHANCED TRAITS
    Publication number: 20160257968
    Abstract: A recombinant DNA construct is disclosed. When the recombinant DNA construct is expressed in a plant or a plant cell, endogenous HD-Zip class II proteins become less able to repress DNA transcription of the genes they typically regulate. The recombinant DNA construct can be expressed in plant cells to produce plants with enhanced phenotypes. Methods of making transgenic plants comprising the recombinant DNA construct, and plants produced thereby are also disclosed.
