PLANTS WITH ALTERED ROOT ARCHITECTURE, RELATED CONSTRUCTS AND METHODS INVOLVING GENES ENCODING LECTIN PROTEIN KINASE (LPK) POLYPEPTIDES AND HOMOLOGS THEREOF

摘要

Isolated polynucleotides and polypeptides and recombinant DNA constructs particularly useful for altering root structure of plants, compositions (such as plants or seeds) comprising these recombinant DNA constructs, and methods utilizing these recombinant DNA constructs. The recombinant DNA construct comprises a polynucleotide operably linked to a promoter functional in a plant, wherein said polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide useful for altering plant root architecture.
