The invention relates to plant transcription factor polypeptides, polynucleotides that encode them, homologs from a variety of plant species, and methods of using the polynucleotides and polypeptides to produce transgenic plants having advantageous properties, including resistance to disease and tolerance to low nitrogen, drought, and other abiotic stresses, as compared to wild-type or control plants. L'invention concerne des polypeptides du facteur de transcription de plantes, des polynucléotides qui les codent, des homologues provenant d'une pluralité d'espèces de plantes, ainsi que des procédés d'utilisation des polynucléotides et des polypeptides permettant de produire des plantes transgéniques présentant des propriétés avantageuses, notamment une résistance à des maladies et une tolérance à une faible teneur en azote, la sécheresse, et d'autres contraintes abiotiques, par comparaison avec des plantes témoins ou de type sauvage.
