The invention is directed to the application of gene sequences which cause a dwarf phenotype in plants to the fields of forestry plants, ornamental horticultural plants, medicinal plants, and Nicotiana plants which are used for purposes other than for traditional tobacco products. The invention provides cDNAs identified by the polynucleotide sequences SEQ ID NO: 1-122 that may be used to create transfected or transgenic plants exhibiting a dwarf phenotype. The invention also provides methods of creating a transfected or transgenic plant exhibiting a dwarf phenotype by expressing in the plant DNA or mRNA identified by the sequences SEQ ID NO:1-122. |
