  • Nitrogen responsive transcription factors in plants
    Patent number: 11535855
    Abstract: Methods for increasing or decreasing Nitrogen (N) uptake/assimilation and/or usage in plants comprising over-expressing or repressing one or more transcription factors that have been identified by evaluating temoporal transcription of the TFs in response to N signaling and validated based on TF perturbation studies in plant cells and plants. Combinations of TFs may be used, where each TF may be independently induced or repressed to achieve a desired increase or decrease in N uptake/assimilation.
    Type: Grant
