Abstract
The invention relates to the genetic modification of plants particularly to the expression of P-glycoprotein genes in transformed plants. Nucleotide sequences for Dw3 genes encoding a P-glycoprotein of sorghum, and method for their use are provided. The sequences fine use in modifying the growth of plants. Additionally, the invention provides methods for producing stable dwarf crop plants, particularly stable dwarf sorghum plants.
