The present invention is situated in the field of plant development. More specifically the invention relates to the identification and characterization of plant development regulating proteins required for correct plant development as well as to mutants thereof. The present invention thus relates to isolated nucleic acid sequences and protein sequences, and to vectors and host cells comprising said nucleic acid sequences. The invention further relates to transgenic cells and plants comprising and expressing said sequences and to methods for obtaining said cells and plants. The present invention further relates to the use of said wild type or mutant genes and proteins in methods to modify plant development. Said genes and proteins can furthermore be used in methods for mimicking or modifying auxin-related effects.
Use of a plant cdc27B for modulating or mimicking auxin-related effects in a plant or plant cell.
Use of a plant cdc27B for regulation of the cell cycle of a plant cell.
A method for modulating or mimicking auxin-related effects in a plant or a plant cell, comprising the modification of expression of a cdc27B protein in particular cells, preferably cycling cells, in particular domains, tissues or organs of a plant, preferably comprising cycling cells.
A method for regulating of the cell cycle of a plant cell, comprising the modification of expression of a cdc27B protein in particular cells, preferably cycling cells, in particular domains, tissues or organs of a plant, preferably comprising cycling cells.
An isolated plant development regulating protein comprising one of the polypeptides selected from the group consisting of:
A nucleic acid molecule of at least 15 nucleotides in length hybridizing specifically with a nucleic acid represented by SEQ ID NOs 10 to 23.
A nucleic acid molecule of at least 15 nucleotides in length specifically amplifying a nucleic acid represented by SEQ ID NOs 10 to 23.
