Abstract
Provided is a method of producing a genetically modified plant characterized as having increased growth and yield as compared to a corresponding wild-type plant comprising increasing the level of cyclin expression in the plant. The methods include providing a modified nucleic acid regulatory sequence from cycB1a;At resulting in increased gene transcription and expression. Also provided are modified nucleic acid regulatory sequences. Genetically modified plants characterized as having increased growth and yield are also provided.
