Abstract

The present invention provides barley thioredoxin h nucleic acids and proteins. The barley thioredoxin h nucleic acid may be isolated or it may be an expression vector. The expression vector may be operably linked to a transcriptional regulatory sequence. The invention also provides for transgenic plants comprising recombinant barley thioredoxin h. The invention also provides methods of expressing and purifying barley thioredoxin h.
