DROUGHT TOLERANT PLANTS AND RELATED CONSTRUCTS AND METHODS INVOLVING GENES ENCODING MATE EFFLUX 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 a MATE efflux polypeptide.
