This invention provides a method of conferring osmoprotection to plants. Plant plastid genomes, particularly the chloroplast genome, is transformed to express an osmoprotectant. The transgenic plants and their progeny display drought resistance. More importantly, such transgenic plants display no negative pleiotropic effects such as sterility or stunted growth.
L'invention concerne un procédé pour conférer l'osmoprotéction aux végétaux. On transforme des génomes de plaste végétal, notamment le génome du chloroplaste, pour exprimer un osmoprotécteur. Les plantes transgéniques et leur descendance manifestent une résistance à la sécheresse; de plus, ces plantes transgéniques ne manifestent aucun effet pléiotropique négatif tel que la stérilité ou la croissance freinée.
