SOYBEAN ISOPENTENYL TRANSFERASE GENES AND METHODS OF USE

摘要

Methods and compositions for modulating plant development are provided.Polynucleotide sequences encoding isopentenyl transferase (IPT) polypeptidesare provided, as are the amino acid sequences of the encoded polypeptides. Thesequences can be used in a variety of methods including modulating rootdevelopment, modulating floral development, modulating leaf and/or shootdevelopment, modulating senescence, modulating seed size and/or weight, andmodulating tolerance of plants to abiotic stress. Transformed plants, plantcells, tissues, and seed are also provided.
