Fuente: WIPO "biotechnology" The invention relates to plant transcription factor polypeptides, polynucleotides that encode them, homologs from a variety of plant species, and methods of using the polynucleotides and polypeptides to produce transgenic plants having improved abiotic stress tolerance, such as drought stress tolerance, as compared to wild-type or reference plants. Sequence information related to these polynucleotides and polypeptides can also be used in bioinformatic search methods to identify related sequences and is also disclosed.
