Provided are suppression DNA constructs and CRISPR/Cas9 DNA constructs that are useful for conferring improved drought tolerance, yield, and/or nitrogen stress tolerance in a plant. Also provided are genome edited plants, or plants expressing a suppression DNA construct, having improved drought tolerance, yield and/nitrogen stress tolerance. Further provided are methods for improving drought tolerance, yield, and/or nitrogen stress tolerance by introducing a genome edit in a plant or expressing a suppression DNA construct in a plant.

Abiotic stress tolerant plants and methods

Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides, and recombinant DNA constructs are useful for conferring improved nitrogen stress tolerance or NUE and yield. Compositions (such as plants or seeds) comprise these recombinant DNA constructs; and methods utilize these recombinant DNA constructs. The recombinant DNA constructs comprise a polynucleotide operably linked to a promoter that is functional in a plant, wherein said polynucleotides encode nitrogen stress tolerance polypeptides.
