Abstract
The present invention provides a BZR1 gene and an altered gene, bzr1-D, involved in the brassinosteroid response pathway. The expression of BZR1 genes in transgenic plants causes such plants to become significantly larger and more robust than their wild-type counterparts, thus increasing plant yields.
Claims12
An isolated nucleic acid molecule encoding the bzr1-D polypeptide having the amino acid sequence of SEQ ID NO:7.
