Abstract
The present invention relates to the finding that the accumulation of flavodoxin within chloroplasts of plant cells provides enhanced resistance to sources of environmental stress, including ultraviolet AB radiation, extreme temperatures, infection and/or high doses of irradiation. Nucleic acids encoding flavodoxin fused to a chloroplast targeting peptide, cells, plants and methods pertaining thereto are described.
