Transgenic plants over-expressing C-repeat/dehydration-responsive element-binding factor

摘要

A transformed plant cell or transgenic plant containing a recombinant nucleic acid that encodes a heterologous C-repeat/dehydration-responsive element-binding factor (CBF). Expression of the CBF factor increases tolerance of the cell or the plant to chilling, oxidative stress, water-deficit, or salt. Also disclosed are methods of producing such a transformed plant cell or transgenic plant.
