MODULATION OF ACC DEAMINASE EXPRESSION

摘要

Methods and compositions comprise ACC deaminase nucleic acids and their encoded proteins for altering ethylene production and stress response in plants. Recombinant expression cassettes, host cells, and transgenic plants comprise the constructs. The amino acid sequence of the deaminase may be altered to modify enzymatic function. The ACC deaminase may be from Diplodia maydis and the host plant may be maize.
