Title:
PLANT-SIGNALLING LIGAND LIKE PROTEINS
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO2001096582
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
The invention relates to the field of plant growth and development, more in particular to the communication between plant cells influencing architectural or phenotypical characteristics such as their rate and pattern of division, orientation of elongation, organogenesis or differentiation patterns. The invention provides a method for modulating plant phenotype or architecture, such as by modulating or changing plant growth, it's development or defense responses, by modulating its rate or pattern of cell division, orientation of elongation, organogenesis or differentiation patterns, comprising providing a plant or plant material with recombinant ligand-like protein (LLP) or a functional fragment thereof, said protein or fragment at least comprising an LLP box as provided by the invention comprising an amino acid motif XRXXXXGXXXXHX.
