  • Plants with enhanced tolerance to multiple abiotic stresses
    Patent number: 11066677
    Abstract: The present disclosure describes genetically-modified plants having enhanced tolerance to multiple abiotic stressors, such as extreme temperatures (heat or cold) and/or drought. Abiotic stress tolerance is enhanced by ectopic expression of a heterologous glutaredoxin. Abiotic stress tolerance (particularly drought) is also enhanced by inhibited function, activity, or expression of an endogenous glutaredoxin. Methods of producing such genetically-modified plants are also disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: June 9, 2017
    Date of Patent: July 20, 2021
    Assignees: Kansas State University Research Foundation, Baylor College of Medicine
    Inventors: Sunghun Park, Frank White, Jungeun Park, Kendal Hirschi, Ning-Hui Cheng
