    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for obtaining a genetically modified plant having increased yield and improved drought tolerance, as compared to a wild type control plant of the same species, comprising: Modifying the genomic DNA in at least one cell of said plant species to increase expression of a FTSHi3 gene thereby obtaining a genetically modified cell; generating a plant from the genetically modified cell to obtain a genetically modified plant; growing said genetically modified plant under conditions which permit development of a plant; and selecting a genetically modified plant having improved drought tolerance. The invention also relates to plants obtainableby such methods, and genetically modified plants exhibiting at least 50% increased expression of a FTSHi3 gene as compared to the wild-type control plant of the same species.
