Abstract
Provided are suppression DNA constructs and CRISPR/Cas9 DNA constructs that are useful for conferring improved drought tolerance, yield, and/or nitrogen stress tolerance in a plant. Also provided are genome edited plants, or plants expressing a suppression DNA construct, having improved drought tolerance, yield and/nitrogen stress tolerance. Further provided are methods for improving drought tolerance, yield, and/or nitrogen stress tolerance by introducing a genome edit in a plant or expressing a suppression DNA construct in a plant.
