The present invention relates to altering the biomass and/or structure of a plant, in order to maximise its potential as a source of feedstock or increase its potential as a feedstock for the paper industry. CLE41 and/or CLE42 are used to manipulate growth and structure of the vascular tissue of the plant. The present invention also provides plants in which the levels of CLE41 and/or CLE42 are increased compared to those of a native plant grown under identical conditions, and parts of such plants. Also provided are methods for using such plants or plant parts in the production of plant derived products such as paper or biofuels.
La présente invention porte sur la modification de la biomasse et/ou de la structure d'une plante, afin de rendre maximal son potentiel en tant que source de matière première biologique ou d'augmenter son potentiel en tant que matière première biologique pour l'industrie papetière. CLE41 et/ou CLE42 sont utilisés pour manipuler la croissance et la structure du tissu vasculaire de la plante. La présente invention porte également sur des plantes dans lesquelles les taux de CLE41 et/ou CLE42 sont augmentés par comparaison à ceux d'une plante native ayant poussé dans des conditions identiques, et des parties de telles plantes. L'invention porte également sur des procédés d'utilisation de telles plantes ou de parties de plantes dans la production de produits issus de plantes tels que le papier ou les biocarburants.
