MODULATING DROUGHT TOLERANCE IN BRASSICACEAE USING THE KANGHAN GENE FAMILY

摘要

Methods are provided for modulating an abiotic stress response to drought in a plant, for example by introducing a heritable change to the plant, which alters the expression in the plant of an endogenous or exogenous protein that is a member of a particular gene family, the Kanghan genes. Similarly, plants and plants cells having such heritable changes are provided.
