Patent number: 9725728Abstract: 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 and is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2014Date of Patent: August 8, 2017Assignee: Mendel Biotechnology, Inc.Inventors: Bradley K. Sherman, Jose Luis Riechmann, Cai-Zhong Jiang, Jacqueline E. Heard, Volker Haake, Robert A. Creelman, Oliver J. Ratcliffe, Luc J. Adam, T. Lynne Reuber, James S. Keddie, Pierre E. Broun, Marsha L.

Publication number: 20170218383Abstract: 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 have increased tolerance to an abiotic stress (in some cases, to more than one abiotic stress), increased growth, and/or increased biomass. The abiotic stress may include, for example, salt, hyperosmotic stress, water deficit, heat, cold, drought, and/or low nutrient conditions.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2017Publication date: August 3, 2017Inventors: T. Lynne Reuber, Oliver J. Ratcliffe, Frederick D. Hempel, Luc J. Adam, Cai-Zhong Jiang, Robert A. Creelman, Jose Luis Riechmann, Jacqueline E. Heard, Raymond R. Samaha, Pierre E. Broun, Magnus Hertzberg, Torgny Nasholm
