Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0164850A1] This invention provides a method of conferring osmoprotection to plants. Plant plastid genomes, particularly the chloroplast genome, is transformed to express an osmoprotectant. The transgenic plants and their progeny display drought resistance. More importantly, such transgenic plants display no negative pleiotropic effects such as sterility or stunted growth.
