Claim 0:
1. A recombinant DNA construct comprising a DNA molecule that encodes a N-terminal truncation variant of a HD-Zip class II transcription factor protein that has an amino acid sequence with at least 95% amino acid sequence identity with the full-length amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 113, and operably linked to a heterologous promoter, wherein the N-terminal truncation variant is missing the N-terminal amino acid portion comprising amino acid position 1 to amino acid position 59 of the HD-Zip class II amino acid sequence transcription factor protein relative to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 26, and wherein said N-terminal truncation variant of the HD-Zip class II transcription factor protein has a loss-of-function mutation in a transcriptional repression domain.
