Title: Retinoblastoma-like RRB gene of arabidopsis thaliana

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1174739
; ; ; ; ;

This invention provides methods and compositions for altering the growth, organization, and differentiation of plant tissues. The invention is based on the discovery that, in plants, genetically altering the levels of Retinoblastoma-related gene (RRB) activity produces dramatic effects on the growth, proliferation, organization, and differentiation of plant meristem.
