Abstract:
This invention relates to the identification of a regulator protein (termed CYP78A6, or EOD3) which controls the size of plant seeds and organs in Arabidopsis and other plants. Manipulation of CYP78A protein expression may useful, for example, in improving crop yield and increasing plant biomass.
