摘要:
The invention features a method for increasing stress resistance or tolerance in a plant, the method including the steps of: (a) introducing into plant cells a transgene including DNA encoding a kinase domain of a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) operably linked to a promoter functional in plant cells to yield transformed plant cells; and (b) regenerating a transgenic plant from the transformed cells, wherein the kinase domain of said MAPKKK is expressed in the cells of the transgenic plant, thereby increasing the level of stress resistance or tolerance in the transgenic plant. The invention further features plants including a recombinant transgene capable of expressing a kinase domain of a mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase (MAPKKK) or a kinase domain thereof, wherein the transgene is expressed in said plant under the control of a promoter that is functional in a plant cell.
摘要:
Disclosed are transgenic plants which include a transgene which expresses a phosphatase domain of a dual-specificity mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatase, wherein the transgene is expressed in the transgenic plant under the control of a promoter that is functional in a plant cell. Also disclosed are methods which are useful for modifying the phenotype of a plant, including the steps of: (a) introducing into a plant cell a transgene comprising DNA encoding a phosphatase domain of a dual-specificity mitogen-activating protein kinase (MAPK) phosphatase operably linked to a promoter functional in plant cells to yield a transformed plant cell; and (b) regenerating a transgenic plant from the transformed cells, wherein the phosphatase domain of the dual-specificity MAPK phosphatase is expressed in the cells of the transgenic plant, thereby modifying the phenotype of the transgenic plant.
