Methods Using Acyl-Coa Binding Proteins To Enhance Low-Temperature Tolerance In Genetically Modified Plants
Acbp6 Can Be Used To Enhance Low Temperature Tolerance In Genetically Modified Plants. An Acbp6 T-Dna Insertional Mutant That Lacked Acbp6 Mrna And Protein, Displayed Increased Sensitivity To Freezing Temperature (-8 Deg C.), While Acbp6-Overexpressing Transgenic Arabidopsis Were Conferred Enhanced Freezing Tolerance. Methods Of Using Acbp6 To Enhance Low Temperature Tolerance Of Plants Are Provided.

Title: Methods using acyl-CoA binding proteins to enhance low-temperature tolerance in genetically modified plants
Usefulness: Methods using acyl-CoA binding proteins to enhance low-temperature tolerance in genetically modified plants
Summary: The method is useful for: obtaining enhanced low temperature tolerance in a plant cell; and screening for functional ACBP6 variants (all claimed). No biological data given.
Novelty: Obtaining enhanced low temperature tolerance in plant cell, comprises obtaining plant cell genetically modified to express acyl-coenzyme A-binding protein 6 and exposing temperatures low enough to be growth-inhibiting to native plant cell
