    Abstract: This invention relates to methods for altering cell proliferation in a plant by modulating the expression of an endogenous plant gene whose expression product affects cell proliferation. These methods can be used to modify plant characteristics, such as seed size. In particular, the invention provides methods for modifying cell proliferation in the integuments and/or seed coats of a plant by inhibiting expression of endogenous gene encoding Auxin response factor 2 (ARF2/MNT) or an orthologue thereof, such that the number of cells in the integuments and/or seed coat is increased, resulting in increased seed size. The plant or plant propagating material can be transformed, e.g., with a nucleic acid construct, to increase or decrease the expression of endogenous genes or the orthologues thereof that affect cell proliferation. The invention also relates to modified plants and reproducible plant material produced by the methods, and nucleic acid constructs for use in such methods.

    Abstract: A method of producing a di-substituted pyridinium polymer by microwave-assisted polymerisation of a 2, 3, or 4-substituted pyridine monomer of the formula NC5R4—R′—X, wherein R is selected from hydrogen, hydroxyl, and substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, alkoxy, aryl, alkaryl, aralkyl, and alkenyl groups, R′ is a linking group, and X is a leaving group. Using this method, di-substituted pyridinium polymer compositions may be obtained wherein at least 50% of the di- substituted pyridinium polymer chains in the composition have the same degree of polymerisation.

    Abstract: This invention relates to a method for modifying cell proliferation in a plant which comprises the step of transforming a plant, or plant propagating material, with a nucleic acid molecule comprising at least one regulatory sequence capable of directing expression within the integuments and/or seed coat and at least one nucleic acid sequence whose expression or transcription product is capable of directly or indirectly modulating cell proliferation, whereby on expression of that nucleic acid sequence cell proliferation is modified. The invention also relates to a plant which includes a nucleic acid molecule comprising at least one regulatory sequence capable of directing expression within integuments and/or seed coat an at least one nucleic acid sequence whose expression or transcription product is capable of directly or indirectly modulated cell proliferation, whereby on expression of that nucleic acid sequence cell proliferation is modified. The invention also relates to reproducible plant material including a nucleic acid molecule comprising at least one regulatory sequence capable of directing expression within integuments and/or seed coat and at least one nucleic acid sequence whose expression or transcription product is capable of directly or indirectly modulated cell proliferation, whereby expression of that nucleic acid sequence cell proliferation is modified. According to another aspect of the invention, there is provided a method for modifying cell proliferation in a plant which comprises the step of modulating the response of the plant to an auxin in which cell proliferation is modified to produce larger or smaller seeds than wild-type.
