A recombinant DNA construct is disclosed. When the recombinant DNA construct is expressed in a plant or a plant cell, endogenous HD-Zip class II proteins become less able to repress DNA transcription of the genes they typically regulate. The recombinant DNA construct can be expressed in plant cells to produce plants with enhanced phenotypes. Methods of making transgenic plants comprising the recombinant DNA construct, and plants produced thereby are also disclosed.

Interfering with HD-Zip transcription factor repression of gene expression to produce plants with enhanced traits

This disclosure provides recombinant DNA constructs and transgenic plants having enhanced traits such as increased yield, increased nitrogen use efficiency, and enhanced drought tolerance or water use efficiency. Transgenic plants may include field crops as well as plant propagules and progeny of such transgenic plants. Methods of making and using such transgenic plants are also provided. This disclosure also provides methods of producing seed from such transgenic plants, growing such seed, and selecting progeny plants with enhanced traits. Also disclosed are transgenic plants with altered phenotypes which are useful for screening and selecting transgenic events for the desired enhanced trait.

Transgenic plants with enhanced traits

The invention provides a transgenic corn event MON 95379, plants, plant cells, seeds, plant parts, progeny plants, and commodity products comprising event MON 95379. The invention also provides polynucleotides specific for event MON 95379 and methods for using and detecting event MON 95379 as well as plants, plant cells, seeds, plant pails, progeny plants, and commodity products comprising event MON 95379.
