Provided herein are compositions and methods for producing transgenic plants. In specific embodiments, transgenic plants comprise a construct comprising a polynucleotide encoding microRNA167 (miR167), or precursor thereof, operably linked to a plant pericycle-specific promote, wherein the miR167 is ectopically overexpressed in the transgenic plants, and wherein the promoter is optionally a constitutive or inducible promoter. In some embodiments, the transgenic plant has an improved agronomic or nutritional characteristic when cultivated in nitrogen-rich conditions as compared to a wild type plant cultivated in the same conditions. Also provided herein are commercial products (e.g., pulp, paper, paper products, or lumber) derived from the transgenic plants (e.g., transgenic trees) produced using the methods provided herein.

C12N 15/82

Plant genes regulated by transcription factors that control the gene network response to an environmental perturbation or signal are described. This class of genes responds to the perturbation of a transcription factor and the signal it transduces, but surprisingly, without stable binding of the transcription factor. These genes represent members of the “dark matter” of metabolic regulatory circuits. The invention involves the transgenic manipulation of these “response genes” and/or the genes encoding their regulatory transcription factors in plants so that their respective gene products are either overexpressed or underexpressed in the plant in order to confer a desired phenotype. The invention also relates to a rapid technique named “TARGET” (Transient Assay Reporting Genome-wide Effects of Transcription factors) for determining such “response genes” and their transcription factors by perturbation of the expression of the transcription factors of interest in protoplasts of any plant species.
