Abstract: DWARF12 (DWF12) sequences, mutants and methods of using the same are disclosed. The dwf12 polynucleotides can be used in the production of transgenic plants which display at least one dwf12 mutant phenotype, so that the resulting plants have altered biochemistry, structure or morphology.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel, polynucleotides isolated from dwarf plants. The dwf4 polynucleotides that encode all, or a portion of, a DWF4 polypeptide, a cytochrome P450 enzyme that mediates multiple steps in synthesis of brassinosteroids. The present invention also relates to isolated polynucleotides that encode regulatory regions of dwf4. Uses of the dwf4 polypeptides and polynucleotides are also disclosed.

Abstract: Dwarf5 (dwf5) mutants and methods of using the same are disclosed. The dwf5 polynucleotides can be used in the production of transgenic plants which display at least one dwf5 phenotype, so that the resulting plants have altered structure or morphology. Also described is the DWF5 genomic sequence.
