Publication number: 20130061345Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 3, 2011Publication date: March 7, 2013Applicant: Mendel Biotechnology, Inc.Inventors: T.

Patent number: 7897843Abstract: 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, including increased biomass or improved cold or other osmotic stress tolerance, as compared to wild-type or reference plants. The invention also pertains to expression systems that may be used to regulate these transcription factor polynucleotides, providing constitutive, transient, inducible and tissue-specific regulation.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 2004Date of Patent: March 1, 2011Assignee: Mendel Biotechnology, Inc.Inventors: Cai-Zhong Jiang, Jacqueline E.
