Abstract
Plants, plant cells, and seeds are described herein that grow well and are resistant to environmental stresses such as drought and insects, where the plants have one or more mutations that reduce or eliminate the interaction of MYC transcription factors with the JAZ proteins. The plants can have an additional mutation that reduces or eliminates the function of the PHYB gene, and/or a heterologous PIF4 transgene or PIF4 expression cassette to improve the growth of the myc mutant plants. Methods of making and using such plants, plant cells, and seeds are also described.
