Expression of a Mannan Binding Domain to Alter Plant Morphology

摘要

Novel compositions and methods for their use are provided comprising recombinant nucleic acids coding for a mannan binding domain or functional portions thereof. The compositions can be synthesized or prepared by recombinant DNA technology. The compositions can be used to create transgenic plants expressing said mannan binding domain. The mannan binding domain can be expressed in a tissue specific manner and thereby modify plant properties including mannan-containing plant components.
