Patent number: 11952579Abstract: A recombinant DNA construct is disclosed. When the recombinant DNA construct is expressed in a plant or a plant cell, endogenous HD-Zip class II proteins become less able to repress DNA transcription of the genes they typically regulate. The recombinant DNA construct can be expressed in plant cells to produce plants with enhanced phenotypes. Methods of making transgenic plants comprising the recombinant DNA construct, and plants produced thereby are also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: October 15, 2020Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Monsanto Technology LLCInventors: Cara L. Griffith, Abha Khandelwal, Paul J. Loida, Elena A. Rice, Rebecca L. Thompson, Sivalinganna Manjunath
