'polynucleotide encoding chloroplastic small heat shock protein (shsp26) and uses thereof'

摘要

The present invention relates to isolation and characterization of polynucleotide encoding wheat chloroplastic small heat shock protein (sHSP26). The polynucleotide of the present invention is useful for production of transgenic plants having improved characteristics. Recombinant vector, plasmid and host cell comprising the polynucleotide encoding wheat chloroplastic small heat shock protein (sHSP26) are provided herein. The present invention also provides abiotic stress tolerant transgenic plant(s), progeny and seed(s) over-expressing the polynucleotide encoding wheat sHSP26.
