ABSTRACT:
This invention relates a novel gene which is induced by water deficit and abscisic acid. The gene encodes for a transcription factor, particularly homeodomain-leucine zipper transcription factor which contains a transcriptional activation domain in the C-terminal region and a DNA-binding domain in the N-terminal region. The gene can be cloned into an expression vector to produce a recombinant DNA expression system suitable for insertion into cells to form a transgenic plant transformed with this gene. The gene of this invention can be also used to produce transgenic plants which exhibit enhanced resistance to drought.
