Transcription factors

Abstract

The invention provides polynucleotide sequences isolated from plants encoding transcription factors. Polypeptides encoded by the polynucleotides are also provided. Products and methods of use are disclosed.

1 .- 15 . (canceled) 
     
     
         16 . A DNA construct comprising a polynucleotide comprising SEQ ID NO: 1862 and a heterologous promoter, wherein said polynucleotide encodes a plant transcription factor, and wherein said heterologous promoter and said polynucleotide are operably linked. 
     
     
         17 . A plant cell comprising the DNA construct of  claim 16 . 
     
     
         18 . A method for producing a transgenic plant, comprising (a) transforming a plant cell with the DNA construct of  claim 16 ; (b) culturing the transformed plant cell under conditions that promote growth of a plant, wherein the plant cell expresses the plant transcription factor encoded by the polynucleotide in the DNA construct, and wherein the plant is a transgenic plant that exhibits a phenotype that is different from a plant of the same species that does not contain said DNA construct. 
     
     
         19 . A transgenic plant transformed with the DNA construct of  claim 16  and expressing the transcription factor encoded by the polynucleotide in the DNA construct, wherein the transgenic plant exhibits a phenotype that is different from a plant of the same species that does not contain said DNA construct. 
     
     
         20 . The transgenic plant of  claim 19 , wherein the transgenic plant is a transgenic cottonwood, a transgenic pine or a transgenic  eucalyptus  tree. 
     
     
         21 . Wood and wood products of the transgenic plant of  claim 19 .
