DNA constructs that contain Helianthus annuus Hahb-10 gene coding sequence, method for generating plants with a shortened life cycle and a high tolerance to herbicidal compounds and transgenic plants with that sequence

摘要

The present invention refers to a gene from Helianthus annuus encoding a transcription factor that comprises a homeodomain associated with a leucine zipper. This gene is named Hahb-10. The transcription factor Hahb-10 can be used in DNA constructs to transform host cells and plants. Transgenic plants that overexpress this transcription factor are more tolerant to herbicides, and have a shorter life cycle.
