Publication number: 20210054397Abstract: Polynucleotides and polypeptides incorporated into expression vectors have been introduced into plants and were ectopically expressed. The polypeptides of the invention have been shown to confer at least one regulatory activity and confer increased yield, greater height, greater early season growth, greater canopy coverage, greater stem diameter, greater late season vigor, increased secondary rooting, more rapid germination, greater cold tolerance, greater tolerance to water deprivation, reduced stomatal conductance, altered C/N sensing, increased low nitrogen tolerance, increased low phosphorus tolerance, or increased tolerance to hyperosmotic stress as compared to the control plant as compared to a control plant.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 8, 2020Publication date: February 25, 2021Inventors: Robert A. Creelman, Neal I. Gutterson, Oliver J. Ratcliffe, T. Lynne Reuber, Richard Eric Cerny, Kimberly Faye Zobrist Duff, Susanne Kjemtrup-Lovelace, Robert J. Meister, Marie E. Petracek, Thomas Ruff, Qingzhang Xu

Patent number: 10597667Abstract: 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 be more resistant to disease (in some cases, to more than one pathogen), or more tolerant to an abiotic stress (in some cases, to more than one abiotic stress). The abiotic stress may include, for example, salt, hyperosmotic stress, water deficit, heat, cold, drought, or low nutrient conditions.Type: GrantFiled: November 9, 2016Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: Mendel Biotechnology, Inc.Inventors: Peter P. Repetti, T. Lynne Reuber, Oliver Ratcliffe, Karen S. Century, Katherine Krolikowski, Robert A. Creelman, Frederick D. Hempel, Roderick W. Kumimoto, Luc J. Adam, Neal I. Gutterson, Roger Canales, Emily L. Queen, Jennifer M. Costa
