Isolated Polynucleotide Molecules Corresponding to Mutant and Wild-Type Alleles of the Maize D9 Gene and Methods of Use

摘要

The invention provides isolated polynucleotide molecules encoding mutant and wild-type alleles of the maize D9 gene. The invention further provides methods for modifying the growth of plants by decreasing or increasing plant height, altering stem and/or root growth, and involving the use of these isolated polynucleotide molecules, isolated polypeptides and transformed plants, seeds and cells.
