Plants comprising a gibberellic acid 2-oxidase gene expression cassette
The invention provides for an expression cassette comprising a gibberellic acid 2-oxidase gene, and turfgrass plants comprising said cassette.
1. A nucleic acid molecule comprising SEQ ID NO: 11 or the complement thereof.
2. A turfgrass plant, plant cell, plant part, or seed comprising the nucleic acid molecule of SEQ ID NO: 11 or the complement thereof.
3. The turfgrass plant part of claim 2 , wherein the plant part is a crown, stem, tiller, cutting, apical meristem, pollen, ovule, flower, shoot, stolon, propagule, runner, rhizome, root, or leaf.
4. The turfgrass plant, plant cell, plant part, or seed of claim 2 , wherein the turfgrass is bluegrass, St. Augustinegrass, bermudagrass, bentgrass, bahiagrass, centipedegrass, tall fescue, buffalograss, zoysiagrass, ryegrass, or fine fescue.
5. The turfgrass plant, plant cell, plant part, or seed of claim 4 , wherein the bluegrass is Kentucky bluegrass.
6. A plasmid comprising the nucleic acid molecule of SEQ ID NO: 11 or the complement thereof.
