Patent

CA 2266295

The present invention provides a method of modifying one or more morphological, biochemical and physiological properties or characteristics in a plant, such as one or more developmental processes and/or sink/source-related processes and/or plant cytokinin-mediated processes and/or gibberellin-mediated including but not limited to the modification of cell fate, the advancement of cell division, the initiation, promotion, stimulation or enhancement of seed development and/or tuber formation and/or shoot initiation and/or bushiness and/or dwarfism and/or pigment synthesis, and/or the modification of source/sink relationships, and/or the modification of root growth and/or the inhibition of root apical dominance and/or the delay of senescence and/or the modification of bushiness in the plant, said method comprising expressing a cell cycle control protein, in particular cyclin B, in the plant, operably under the control of a regulatable promoter sequence such as a cell-specific promoter, tissue- specific promoter, or organ-specific promoter sequence.
