ABSTRACT:
Isolated polynucleotides, polypeptides, and transgenic plants are described. The transgenic plants can exhibit one or more altered phenotypic characteristics relative to a control plant, including increased height, increased seed weight, increased photosynthetic rates, decreased levels of campestanol, or increased levels of 6-deoxocathasterone.
