| Description | The invention relates to a method of regulation of biomass production in plants, wherein the gene CKI1 or homologue or an orthologue thereof is identified in plant and the expression of the gene CKI1 or homologue or an orthologue thereof or activity of the gene product is modified. The identification of homologue or the orthologue of the gene CKI1 in the plant species comprises the following steps: i) identification of the nucleotide sequence homology or amino acid sequence homology, ii) proving the histidine kinase activity of the identified gene product, iii) identification of the expression in vascular tissues of the respective plant species. Modification of the expression of the gene includes increasing or decreasing of the expression. |
