The present invention is based on the unexpected observation that DNA methylation, particularly at cytosine residues, regulates the rate of development of a plant. Based on this observation, the present invention provides methods of increasing or decreasing the rate of development of a plant by either increasing or decreasing the amount of methylated DNA found in the plant. The present invention further provides plants that have been altered such that their rate of maturation is either increased or decreased relative to the rate of maturation of a non-altered plant.
La présente invention est basée sur l'observation inattendue que la méthylation d'ADN, notamment au niveau des restes cytosine, régule la vitesse de croissance d'une plante. D'après cette observation, l'invention concerne des procédés consistant à augmenter ou diminuer la vitesse de croissance d'une plante, à l'aide d'une augmentation ou d'une diminution de la quantité d'ADN méthylé trouvé dans la plante. La présente invention concerne en outre des plantes que l'on a ainsi modifiées afin d'augmenter ou de diminuer leur vitesse de maturation par rapport à celle d'une plante non modifiée.
