Abstract
We describe a plant cell which is modified by the inclusion of a nucleic acid molecule that encodes a regulator of auxin signalling and which is adapted for expression in a gravity sensing cell.
Claims16
A root columella and/or root cap cell the genome of which is modified by the inclusion of a nucleic acid molecule adapted for expression in a gravity sensing cell of the root wherein the nucleic acid molecule encodes a regulator of auxin signalling and wherein the regulator of auxin signalling includes a protein selected from a TRANSPORTER INHIBITOR RESPONSE-1 (TIR1), Auxin signalling F-box Proteins (AFBs), auxin response factors (ARFs), and auxin/indole-3-acetic acid (Aux/Iaa) transcriptional regulators (repressors).
