Title: Alteration of plant meristem function by manipulation of the Retinoblastoma-like plant RRB gene

Patent ·
OSTI ID:902978

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.
