1. A method of increasing level of low-nitrogen tolerance in a plant, said method comprising
growing plant cells transformed with an exogenous nucleic acid molecule, said exogenous nucleic acid molecule comprising a heterologous promoter operably linked to a polynucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide having 95 percent or greater amino acid sequence identity to the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO: 186; and
producing plants from said transformed plant cells; and
selecting for a transformed plant from said transformed plants that overexpresses said polypeptide and exhibits an increased level of low-nitrogen tolerance as compared to the corresponding level of low-nitrogen tolerance of a control plant of the same species that does not comprise said exogenous nucleic acid molecule.
