The present invention provides a method of producing genetically altered plants that are drought tolerant, and plants obtainable by said method and uses thereof. 1. A genetically altered plant expressing a nucleic acid construct comprising a nucleic acid wherein said nucleic acid sequence encodes a polypeptide comprising SEQ ID NO: 4 or a functional homologue or variant thereof , and wherein preferably said nucleic acid is defined in SEQ ID NO: 1 , 2 or 3 or a functional homologue or variant thereof.2. (canceled)3. A plant according to wherein said functional homologue or variant has at least 75% 70% claim 1 , 71% claim 1 , 72% claim 1 , 73% claim 1 , 74% claim 1 , 75% claim 1 , 76% claim 1 , 77% claim 1 , 78% claim 1 , 79% claim 1 , 80% claim 1 , 81% claim 1 , 82% claim 1 , 83% claim 1 , 84% claim 1 , 85% claim 1 , 86% claim 1 , 87% claim 1 , 88% claim 1 , 89% claim 1 , 90% claim 1 , 91% claim 1 , 92% claim 1 , 93% claim 1 , 94% claim 1 , 95% claim 1 , 96% claim 1 , 97% claim 1 , 98% claim 1 , or 99% overall sequence identity to the sequence represented by SEQ ID NO: 1 claim 1 , 2 claim 1 , 3 or 4.4. A plant according to wherein said construct further comprises a regulatory sequence.5. A plant according to wherein said regulatory sequence is a constitutive promoter claim 4 , a strong promoter claim 4 , an inducible promoter claim 4 , a stress inducible promoter or a tissue specific promoter wherein preferably said regulatory sequence is a stress inducible promoter.6. (canceled)7. A plant according to wherein said plant is a monocot or dicot plant.8. A plant according to wherein said plant is a crop plant or biofuel plant claim 7 , wherein said crop plant is selected from maize claim 7 , rice claim 7 , wheat claim 7 , oilseed rape claim 7 , sorghum claim 7 , soybean claim 7 , potato claim 7 , tomato claim 7 , grape claim 7 , barley claim 7 , pea claim 7 , bean claim 7 , field bean claim 7 , lettuce claim 7 , cotton claim 7 , sugar cane claim 7 , sugar beet claim 7 , ...
