Abstract
The present invention provides isolated nucleic acid constructs comprising tomato AFR reductase polynucleotide sequences. The polynucleotides encode AFR reductase polypeptides having ability to catalyze the reduction of AFR, which provide enhanced resistance to oxidative stress. The invention further provides transgenic plants comprising the recombinant expression cassettes, as well as methods of enhancing resistance to oxidative stress in a plant.
