Transgenic Plants With Increased Stress Tolerance and Yield

Abstract

Polynucleotides are disclosed which are capable of enhancing a growth, yield under water-limited conditions, and/or increased tolerance to an environmental stress of a plant transformed to contain such polynucleotides. Also provided are methods of using such polynucleotides and transgenic plants and agricultural products, including seeds, containing such polynucleotides as transgenes.

1 - 5 . (canceled) 
     
     
         6 . A transgenic plant transformed with an expression cassette comprising an isolated polynucleotide encoding a full-length polypeptide comprising SEQ ID NO: 35. 
     
     
         7 . An Isolated polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO. 36. 
     
     
         8 . A method of producing a transgenic plant, said method comprising the steps of:
 a) introducing into a plant cell an expression vector comprising a polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID 35; and   b) generating from the plant cell a transgenic plant that expresses the polynucleotide.
