ABSTRACT:
The present invention is directed to a method for controlling plant cell growth comprising modulating the level and or catalytic activity of a cell cycle control protein in a plant cell for a time and under conditions sufficient to control cell division. Preferably, the cell cycle control protein is p34.sup.cdc2 or p34.sup.cdc2 -like molecule having a cyclin related kinase function and the plant is a monocotyledonous plant or dicotyledonous plant. The present invention is also directed to other cell cycle control proteins, so termed since they function similarly to p34.sup.cdc2 or control p34.sup.cdc2 activity. Such proteins include p13.sup.suc1, cyclin, cdc25, and the products of nim1, wee1 and mik-1 or combinations thereof, separately, or together with p34.sup.cdc2.
