Title:
STRESS TOLERANT PLANT
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2004003208
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to a plant cell characterised in that the genome of said cell is genetically modified such that the activity of beta-carotene hydroxylase is increased when compared to an unmodified reference cell of the same species.
