摘要:
The novel constructs and methods of this invention improve tolerance in plants to environmental stresses and senescence. Nucleic acids encoding a plant farnesyl transferase are described, as are transgenic plants and seeds incorporating these nucleic acids and proteins. Also provided are non-naturally occurring mutations in the gene encoding farnesyl transferase which enhance drought tolerance in the plants, improve resistance to senescence and modify growth habit.
