  • Abiotic stress tolerant plants and methods
    Patent number: 11976288
    Abstract: Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides, and recombinant DNA constructs are useful for conferring improved nitrogen stress tolerance or NUE and yield. Compositions (such as plants or seeds) comprise these recombinant DNA constructs; and methods utilize these recombinant DNA constructs. The recombinant DNA constructs comprise a polynucleotide operably linked to a promoter that is functional in a plant, wherein said polynucleotides encode nitrogen stress tolerance polypeptides.
