PLANTS HAVING ALTERED AGRONOMIC CHARACTERISTICS UNDER NITROGEN LIMITING CONDITIONS AND RELATED CONSTRUCTS AND METHODS INVOLVING LOW NITROGEN TOLERANCE GENES

摘要

Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides, and recombinant DNA constructs useful for conferring improved nitrogen use efficiency and/or drought stress tolerance; compositions (such as plants or seeds) comprising these recombinant DNA constructs; and methods utilizing these recombinant DNA constructs are disclosed. The recombinant DNA constructs comprise a polynucleotide operably linked to a promoter that is functional in a plant, wherein said polynucleotides encode abiotic stress tolerance polypeptides.
