ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides compositions and methods for modulating cell division in plants. In particular, the present invention provides polynucleotides that encode REVOLUTA. In addition, REVOLUTA vectors and transformed plants are provided wherein plant cell division is modulated by expression of a REVOLUTA transgene as compared to a control population of untransformed plants. The present invention also provides methods for the isolation and identification of REVOLUTA genes from higher plants.
