Method for producing genetically modified plants with increased resistance to salt stress and drought

Method for producing genetically modified plants with increased resistance to salt stress and drought

NOVELTY – Producing genetically modified plants involves producing a vector such as expression vector, plasmid or cloning vector comprising the polynucleotide sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1) and linking the vector with promoter and terminator, which are functional in plants. The vector is 60% identical to the sequence (SEQ ID NO: 1). The promoter is preferably CaMV 35S of cauliflower mosaic virus. The terminator is nopaline synthase (NOS) terminator. (Sequences not defined here may be found at ftp://ftp.wipo.int/pub/publishedpct sequences/publication). USE – Method for production of genetically modified plants such as monocots and dicotyledonous e.g. tobacco, sugarcane, soy, corn, rice and wheat (all claimed). ADVANTAGE – The method enables the production of genetically modified plants having abiotic stress tolerance property during adverse condition such as dried and saline conditions. DETAILED DESCRIPTION – An INDEPENDENT CLAIM is included for a recombinant DNA vector, which comprises polynucleotide sequence responsible for producing a polypeptide (SEQ ID NO: 2), marker gene i.e. nptII gene and a reporter gene, where the polynucleotide sequence is inserted between the borders of the T-DNA of a binary vector.

Main Application Field

C06 (Biotechnology – including plant genetics and veterinary vaccines.); D16 (Fermentation industry – including fermentation equipment, brewing, yeast production, production of pharmaceuticals and other chemicals by fermentation, microbiology, production of vaccines and antibodies, cell and tissue culture and genetic engineering.)
