35 results about "Increased stress tolerance" patented technology

A novel probe design is presented that increases a probe tolerance to stress fractures. Specifically, what is disclosed are three features increase stress tolerance. These features include a various union angle interface edge shapes, pivot cutouts and buffers.

The present invention relates to isolated actin and β-actin nucleic acid promoter molecules from shrimp; nucleic acid expression cassettes including actin and β-actin promoter molecules isolated from shrimp; and expression vectors, host cells, and transgenic animals transduced with the isolated actin and β-actin nucleic acid promoter. Also disclosed are methods for imparting to an animal resistance against a pathogen; regulating growth of an animal; increasing stress tolerance in an animal; and increasing cold tolerance in an animal that involve transforming an animal with a nucleic acid construct including the isolated actin and β-actin nucleic acid promoter molecules of the present invention. The present invention also relates to isolated nucleic acid molecules encoding for actin and β-actin proteins or polypeptides, as well as the proteins or polypeptides themselves.

Polynucleotides are disclosed which are capable of enhancing a growth, yield under water-limited conditions, and/or increased tolerance to an environmental stress of a plant transformed to contain such polynucleotides. Also provided are methods of using such polynucleotides and transgenic plants and agricultural products, including seeds, containing such polynucleotides as transgenes.

The invention provides methods for producing a plant with increased stress-tolerance and yield, as well as chimeric genes for use according to the methods and plant comprising such chimeric genes.

Oxygenic photosynthesis is the major site of production of reactive oxygen species (ROS). Under high temperature stress, increased ROS damage the photosynthetic machinery, membranes and proteins of plants. The present invention is directed to methods for increasing the stress tolerance of plants by expressing PvGrx5 in the plants.
