Abstract
The invention relates to the genetic manipulation of plants, particularly to the expression of nucleotide sequences from defense-related signaling genes. Isolated nucleotide sequences encoding a neoxanthin cleavage enzyme, an amino acid permease, and a novel protein are provided. Also provided are isolated nucleotide sequences comprising promoters that drive expression in a plant in an inducible or tissue-preferred manner. The nucleotide sequences find use in increasing the resistance of plants to pathogens and other stresses, modifying ABA metabolism in plants, modifying amino acid transport and content in plants, and regulating gene expression in plants. Additionally provided are isolated proteins, and transformed plants and seeds thereof.
