ABSTRACT:
Methods and compositions relate to improving stress tolerance in plants including cold tolerance. HOS9 is a homeobox transcription factor that controls stress tolerance in plants by modulating the activity of a number of cold-responsive genes. Transgenic plant, cell, seed and expression vectors that include a molecule having a nucleic acid sequence derived from HOS9 confer or improve cold tolerance.
