ABSTRACT:
The invention provides a method of reducing lignification in a vascular plant, comprising causing antisense suppression or co-suppression of both AGL1 and AGL5 expression in said plant, by ectopically expressing a nucleic acid molecule encoding an AGL1-like and AGL5-like gene product in said plant.
