IMPROVING CROP YIELD BY SELECTING PLANTS IN HIGH STRESS TOLERANCE PHASE

摘要

The present invention relates to a isolated leukaemia inhibitory factor (LIF)-binding protein (LBP) in soluble form and obtainable from a first mammalian species, said LBP capable of inhibiting the ability of LIF from a second mammalian species to induce differentiation of M1 myeloid leukaemic cells in vitro to a greater extent when compared to its ability to inhibit LIF from said first mammalian species.
