COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS FOR MODULATION OF PLANT CELL DIVISION

摘要

The present invention provides compositions and methods for modulating celldivision in plants. In particular, thepresent invention provides polynucleotides that encode REVOLUTA. In addition,REVOLUTA vectors and transformed plants areprovided wherein plant cell division is modulated by expression of a REVOLUTAtransgene as compared to a control population ofuntransformed plants. The present invention also provides methods for theisolation and identification of REVOLUTA genes fromhigher plants.
