Title:
MODULATION OF PLANT RESPONSE TO ABSCISIC ACID
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001036596
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Compositions and methods for modulating abscisic acid (ABA) perception and signal transduction in developing seed are provided. The methods and compositions find use in increasing yield in plants. Compositions comprise genetic constructs known to affect ABA sensitivity, particularly ABA biosynthetic mutants and fragments and variants thereof. Such compositions can be expressed with seed-preferred promoters.
