ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to plant transcription factor polypeptides, polynucleotides that encode them, homologs from a variety of plant species, and methods of using the polynucleotides and polypeptides to produce transgenic plants having advantageous properties compared to a reference plant. These properties include increased biomass and increased tolerance to cold, water deprivation, and low nitrogen conditions.
