Gene
Soybean (Glycine max) was modified to express sunflower (Helianthus annuus) homeobox-leucine zipper protein 4 (HaHB4) gene to confer tolerance to abiotic stresses, such as drought and hypersaline conditions.
Gene Product
Transcription of the Helianthus annuus Homeodomain-leucine zipper 4 (HaHB4) gene starts at the HaHB4 promoter and terminates at the Agrobacterium tumefaciens nopaline synthase gene terminator. The promoter activity is excepted to increase in response to abiotic stresses, ethylene and insect feeding, resulting in accumulations of HaHB4 transcript and HAHB4 protein.
Gene Function
Increase in response to abiotic stresses, ethylene and insect feeding, resulting in accumulations of HaHB4 transcript and HAHB4 protein.
Traits
Selectable marker genes and reporter genes, Tolerance to abiotic stress (Drought, Salinity)
Developer
Verdeca
