Abstract
The present invention relates to isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides encoded thereby that are useful for making transgenic plants. The transgenic plants produced have increased tolerance to cold, low temperature or chilling conditions. Such plants have a higher and/or faster germination rate, and produce more biomass compared to wildtype plants grown under the same cold, low temperature or chilling conditions.
