ABSTRACT:
A polypeptide characterized by amino acid Nos. 1-789 of the amino acid sequence defined by SEQ ID NO:1 of the sequence listing or a polypeptide having the said amino acid sequence incorporated by insertion, deletion, or substitution of one or more amino acid residues. The peptides have catalytic activities of converting copalyl pyrophosphate to ent-kaurene and are useful for the regulation of plant growth. Also provided are DNAs encoding the polypeptides.
