Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides, as well as recombinant DNA constructs, are useful for conferring increased nitrogen stress tolerance or nitrogen use efficiency and yield. Compositions (eg, plants or seeds) comprising these recombinant DNA constructs; and methods of utilizing these recombinant DNA constructs. The recombinant DNA construct comprises a polynucleotide operably linked to a functional promoter in a plant, wherein the polynucleotide encodes a nitrogen stress tolerance polypeptide. |
