The present invention is directed to plants that display a pathogen resistance and increased drought tolerance phenotype due to altered expression of a PRDT1 nucleic acid. The invention is further directed to methods of generating plants with a pathogen resistance and increased drought tolerance phenotype.

Generation of plants with improved drought tolerance

The present invention is directed to plants that display a drought tolerance phenotype due to altered expression of a DR05 nucleic acid. The invention is further directed to methods of generating plants with a drought tolerance phenotype.

The present invention is directed to plants that display a drought tolerance phenotype due to altered expression of a DRO3 nucleic acid. The invention is further directed to methods of generating plants with a drought tolerance phenotype.

The present invention is directed to a nucleic acid encoding a lepidopteran glutamate-gated chloride channel. Vectors and host cells comprising the nucleic acid are also provided. A method of identifying agents that modulate the activity of a lepidopteran glutamate-gated chloride channel is also provided. Such agents are useful as insecticides.
