摘要:
Compositions and methods relating to identification of the sorghum grain shattering gene (Sh1) for use in modulating fruit dehiscence in a plant are provided. For example, methods are provided for developing genetically modified plant varieties in which the natural seed dispersal process is delayed. Likewise, methods are provided for treating a plant in order to delay fruit dehiscence in the plant. Screening methods are also provided for identifying chemical agents that can modify natural seed dispersal.
