  • Genes for modifying plant traits IV
    Publication number: 20030121070
    Abstract: The invention relates to plant transcription factor polypeptides, polynucleotides that encode them, homologs from a variety of plant species, and methods of using the polynucleotides and polypeptides to produce transgenic plants having advantageous properties compared to a reference plant. Sequence information related to these polynucleotides and polypeptides can also be used in bioinformatic search methods and is also disclosed.

  • Plant gene sequences I
    Publication number: 20030101481
    Abstract: Compositions and methods are provided for modifying a trait of a plant. Isolated polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences are provided, along with an expression vector comprising the isolated polynucleotide, a host cell comprising the isolated polynucleotide, and a transgenic plant comprising the isolated polynucleotide. Also provided is a method for producing a transgenic plant, a method for screening for a compound that may modify the trait and a method for identifying other homologous polynucleotide and polypeptide sequences.

  • Plant having altered environmental stress tolerance
    Publication number: 20020157136
    Abstract: A transformed plant is provided which comprises one or more environmental stress tolerance genes; a DNA regulatory sequence which regulates expression of the one or more environmental stress tolerance genes; a sequence encoding a binding protein capable of binding to the DNA regulatory sequence and inducing expression of the one or more environmental stress tolerance genes; and a recombinant promoter which regulates expression of the gene encoding the binding protein.
