  • Transgenic plants over-expressing C-repeat/dehydration-responsive element-binding factor
    Publication number: 20050028234
    Abstract: A transformed plant cell or transgenic plant containing a recombinant nucleic acid that encodes a heterologous C-repeat/dehydration-responsive element-binding factor (CBF). Expression of the CBF factor increases tolerance of the cell or the plant to chilling, oxidative stress, water-deficit, or salt. Also disclosed are methods of producing such a transformed plant cell or transgenic plant.
    Type: Application

  • Transgenic plants over-expressing a heat shock factor
    Publication number: 20040255346
    Abstract: A transformed plant cell or transgenic plant containing a recombinant nucleic acid that encodes a heterologous heat shock factor. Expression of the heat shock factor derepresses the heat shock response in the transformed plant cell or transgenic plant under non-heat shock conditions. Also disclosed are methods of producing such a transformed plant cell or transgenic plant.
