Nucleic acid molecules from rice encoding proteins for abiotic stress tolerance, enhanced yeild, disease resistance and altered nutritional quality and uses thereof

摘要

The present invention encompasses nucleic acid molecules isolated from Oryza sativa that encode proteins for conferring abiotic stress tolerance, enhanced yield, disease resistance, or altered nutritional composition in plants. The invention further relates to expression of these molecules in microorganisms and transgenic plants for altering these characteristics of the organism.
