Abstract
The invention provides novel transgenic plants which express trehalose biosynthetic genes, e.g., under control of an inducible promoter, which are developmentally normal, together with methods for improving stress tolerance in said plants, methods of improving food quality, and other methods of making and using the plants of the invention. The invention also provides nucleotide sequences encoded novel trehalose biosynthetic enzymes.
