  • DWF12 and Mutants Thereof
    Publication number: 20090025100
    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.
    Type: Application
    Filed: October 24, 2007
    Publication date: January 22, 2009
    Applicant: Arizona Board of Regents on Behalf of the University of Arizona, a Arizona corporation
