  • DIAT gene derived from controlling drought stress tolerance of a plant and uses thereof
    Patent number: 11046970
    Abstract: A method for controlling drought stress tolerance of a plant includes transforming a cell of the plant with a recombinant vector which includes a gene encoding Oryza sativa-derived DIAT (Drought-Induced AminoTransferase) protein to control expression of the gene encoding the DIAT protein. As the drought stress tolerance of a plant can be enhanced by the DIAT gene of the present invention, it is expected that a plant having drought stress tolerance is developed and used for enhancement of the productivity of crops.

  • TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR AP37 INCREASING RESISTANCE OF PLANTS AGAINST DROUGHT STRESS, AND USE THEREOF
    Publication number: 20120144521
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to transcription factor protein AP37 (APETELA 37) originating from rice which is related to tolerance of a plant to stress, a gene which encodes the protein, a recombinant vector comprising the gene, a host cell transformed with the recombinant vector, a method of producing a transgenic plant by using the recombinant vector, a method of improving tolerance of a plant to stress or increasing grain yield by transforming a plant cell with the recombination vector, a plant having improved tolerance to stress or increased grain yield produced according to said method, and a composition for improving tolerance of a plant to stress or for increasing grain yield under drought condition comprising the gene encoding AP37 protein as an effective component.
