Abstract
The invention relates to a method to modulate plant growth or development by modifying genes in plants. The invention among others relates to modifying RKS genes or gene products as found in Arabidopsis thaliana or other plants. The invention provides a method for modulating a developmental pathway of a plant or plant cell comprising modifying a gene or modifying expression of said gene, wherein said gene is encoding a protein belonging to a signaling complex comprising RKS protein, ELS protein, NDR/NHL protein, SBP/SPL protein and RKS/ELS ligand protein.
