DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANTS AND RELATED CONSTRUCTS AND METHODS INVOLVING GENES ENCODING SELF-INCOMPATIBILITY PROTEIN RELATED POLYPEPTIDES.

摘要

Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides and recombinant DNA constructs useful for conferring drought tolerance, compositions (such as plants or seeds) comprising these recombinant DNA constructs, and methods utilizing these recombinant DNA constructs. The recombinant DNA construct comprises a polynucleotide operably linked to a promoter that is functional in a plant, wherein said polynucleotide encodes an SIPR polypeptide.
