| 摘要 |
This application provides and discloses small RNAs and their target genes that are involved in response and resistance to abiotic stresses, and methods of modulating expression or activity of these small RNAs and target genes. This application further provides transgenic plants, plant parts, e.g., seeds, that have altered expression or activity of these small RNAs and target genes and have improved abiotic stress tolerance. This application also provides methods of producing and growing transgenic plants or seeds that have improved abiotic stress tolerance. In specific embodiments, this application discloses small RNAs, small RNA target genes, and uses thereof to improve plant abiotic stress tolerance. In specific embodiments, this application also discloses mi RNA, mi RNA target genes, and uses thereof to improve plant drought tolerance. |
