  • Plant transcriptional regulators of drought stress
    Publication number: 20070240243
    Abstract: The invention relates to plant transcription factor polypeptides, polynucleotides that encode them, homologs from a variety of plant species, and methods of using the polynucleotides and polypeptides to produce transgenic plants having improved abiotic stress tolerance, such as drought stress tolerance, as compared to wild-type or reference plants. Sequence information related to these polynucleotides and polypeptides can also be used in bioinformatic search methods to identify related sequences and is also disclosed.
    Type: Application
    Filed: November 13, 2003
    Publication date: October 11, 2007
    Applicant: Mendel Biotechnology, Inc.
    Inventors: Jacqueline Heard, Jose Riechmann, Robert Creelman, Oliver Ratcliffe, Roger Canales, Peter Repetti, Roderick Kumimoto, Neal Gutterson, T. Reuber, Omaira Pineda, Bradley Sherman
  • Early flowering in genetically modified plants
    Publication number: 20070199107
    Abstract: The present invention provides polynucleotides encoding CCAAT-binding transcription factor polypeptides that modulate the onset of reproductive development in plants. Polynucleotides encoding functional CCAAT-binding transcription factors were incorporated into expression vectors, introduced into plants, and ectopically expressed. The encoded polypeptides of the invention significantly shortened the time to flower development in the transgenic plants, as compared to the flowering time of control plants.

  • Plant transcriptional regulators
    Publication number: 20060272060
    Abstract: The invention relates to plant transcription factor polypeptides, polynucleotides that encode them, homologs from a variety of plant species, and methods of using the polynucleotides and polypeptides to produce transgenic plants having improved tolerance to drought, shade, and low nitrogen conditions, as compared to wild-type or reference plants.

  • Polynucleotides and polypeptides in plants
    Publication number: 20060242738
    Abstract: The invention relates to plant transcription factor polypeptides, polynucleotides that encode them, homologs from a variety of plant species, and methods of using the polynucleotides and polypeptides to produce transgenic plants having advantageous properties compared to a reference plant. Sequence information related to these polynucleotides and polypeptides can also be used in bioinformatic search methods is also disclosed.
