摘要 |
The present invention provides transgenic plant and methods of using them. In one embodiment, the methods include growing a transgenic plant under certain conditions, such as stress conditions, such as drought, heat, or salt, where the plant has decreased expression of a SUT polypeptide compared to a control plant. The transgenic plant may have a phenotype of increased growth, increased formation of woody tissue, increased drought tolerance, increased water use efficiency, increased nitrogen utilization efficiency, or a combination thereof, compared to the control plant. In another embodiment, the methods include using a transgenic plant to produce a pulp.
