Abstract:
The invention provides methods and compositions related to transgenic plants which incorporate genetic traits of the marine eelgrass . These traits include pathogen resistance, which may be conferred by stimulating zosteric acid biosynthesis, and root anoxia resistance, which may be conferred by introducing one or more anoxia-induced or anoxia-resistance genes.
