ABSTRACT:
Transgenic seed for crops with improved traits are provided by trait-improving recombinant DNA in the nucleus of cells of the seed where plants grown from such transgenic seed exhibit one or more improved traits as compared to a control plant. To identify recombinant DNA that confers improved traits to plants, Arabidopsis thaliana was transformed with a candidate recombinant DNA construct and screened for an improved trait. Desirable agronomic traits include improved water use efficiency, cold tolerance, increased yield, improved nitrogen use efficiency, increased seed protein and oil content, heat tolerance, salt resistance, shade tolerance, herbicide resistance, and resistance to viral or fungal infections. Of particular interest are transgenic plants that have increased yield. Four hundred twenty-five recombinant nucleic acids and gene products were identified. BLAST searching identified 32,784 homologs to the 425 proteins. The present invention also provides recombinant DNA mols. for expression of a protein, and recombinant DNA mols. for suppression of a protein.
