  • Yield-improved transgenic plants
    Publication number: 20050022266
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are transgenic plants having a recombinant DNA construct which expresses a Hap3 transcription factor which provides enhanced resistance and/or tolerance to water deficit. More specifically the DNA constructs comprise a polynucleotide which encodes at least a functional part of a transcription factor that is a CCAAT-box DNA binding subunit or a homologous transcription factor.

  • MYB transcription factors and uses for crop improvement
    Publication number: 20040006797
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are inventions in the field of plant biochemistry and genetics. More specifically polynucleotides for use in crop improvement are provided, in particular, plant polynucleotides encoding transcription factors and the polypeptides encoded by such polynucleotides are disclosed. Arrays and DNA constructs comprising such polynucleotides, and polypeptides encoded by such polynucleotides and methods of using the novel polynucleotides and other plant polynucleotide homologs are also disclosed. Novel plants and seeds with improved biological characteristics can be obtained by use of said polynucleotides.
