PLANTS HAVING ALTERED AGRONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS UNDER ABIOTIC STRESS CONDITIONS AND RELATED CONSTRUCTS AND METHODS INVOLVING GENES ENCODING NAC3/ONAC067 POLYPEPTIDES

摘要

The disclosure discloses isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides, and recombinant DNA constructs useful for conferring improved nitrogen use efficiency and drought tolerance; compositions (such as plants or seeds) comprising these recombinant DNA constructs; and methods utilizing these recombinant DNA constructs. The recombinant DNA constructs comprise a polynucleotide operably linked to a tissue specific or induciblepromoter that is functional in a plant, wherein said polynucleotides encodeNAC transcription factor polypeptides.
