Expressed Sequence Tags (ESTs) isolated from maize are disclosed. The ESTs provide a unique molecular tool for the targeting and isolation of novel genes for plant protection and improvement. The disclosed ESTs have utility in the development of new strategies for understanding critical plant developmental and metabolic pathways. The disclosed ESTs have particular utility in isolating genes and promoters, identifying and mapping the genes involved in developmental and metabolic pathways, and det...

The invention relates to parthenocarpic tomatoes (Lycopersicon esculentum Mill.) which are grown from seeds, which are smaller than wild tomatoes and which, when ripe, display a more intense red colour than wild tomatoes. The tomatoes are obtained by cultivating a transgenic tomato plant which produces said parthenocarpic tomatoes and which is obtained using a method consisting in: (a) introducing a DNA construction into a cell or tissue of a tomato plant, said construction comprising (i) the pe...

Provided are: active AREB1 capable of improving plant tolerance against environmental stresses such as drought, salt, and low temperature through expression at high levels in plant bodies; and a method for improving plant environmental stress tolerance using the active AREB1. Also provided is an active environmental stress responsive transcription factor AREB1 gene lacking the activation control region of the plant environmental stress responsive transcription factor AREB1 and containing an N-te...
