  • DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANTS AND RELATED CONSTRUCTS AND METHODS INVOLVING GENE ENCODING FERROCHELATASES
    Publication number: 20110010798
    Abstract: Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides and recombinant DNA constructs useful for conferring drought tolerance, compositions (such as plants or seeds) comprising these recombinant DNA constructs, and methods utilizing these recombinant DNA constructs. The recombinant DNA construct comprises a polynucleotide operably linked to a promoter that is functional in a plant, wherein said polynucleotide encodes a ferrochelatase.
    Type: Application
    Filed: September 22, 2010
    Publication date: January 13, 2011
    Applicant: E.I. DU PONT DE NEMOURS AND COMPANY PIONEER HI BRED INTERNATIONAL INC
    Inventors: Stephen M. Allen, Stanley Luck, Jeffrey Mullen, Hajime Sakai, Sobhana Sivasankar, Scott V. Tingey, Robert Wayne Williams
