ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to the isolation and characterisation of novel expansin gene sequences from heterologous and homologous tree species and re-introducing such novel genes into trees so as to alter expansin levels. Six novel genes have been identified.Eucalyptushas also been transformed using the cucumber EX29 sequence (GenBank, Accession No. U30382-known as Cs-EXP1) (SEQ. ID. NO: 9). A change in the plant height and internode length was observed compared with control plants.
