ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to the induction of the endogenous MnSOD expression in the chloroplast which scavenges reactive oxygen species in the plant cells and provides the means of cultivating crops in areas where it would not otherwise grow normally on account of environmental stress conditions inclusive of high and low temperatures, drought and ultra violet light, and resistance to herbicides so as to increase yield and improve crop quality.
