  • Environmental stress-tolerant plants
    Patent number: 7259297
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an environmental stress-tolerant plant. The invention discloses a transgenic plant containing a gene in which a DNA encodes a protein consisting of the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 4 with the deletion of amino acids from positions 136-165 thereof, the DNA being operably linked downstream of a stress responsive promoter.
    Type: Grant

  • Environmental stress-tolerant plants
    Publication number: 20060195949
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an environmental stress-tolerant plant. The invention discloses a transgenic plant containing a gene in which a DNA encoding the following protein (a) or (b) is ligated downstream of a stress responsive promoter: (a) a protein consisting of the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 8 or SEQ ID NO: 10; (b) a protein which consists of the amino acid sequence having deletion, substitution or addition of at least one amino acid in the amino acid sequence as shown in SEQ ID NO: 2, SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 6, SEQ ID NO: 8 or SEQ ID NO: 10 and which regulates the transcription of genes located downstream of a stress responsive element.
