    摘要: Plants are disclosed that express a cytosine DNA methyltransferase and that can be used to confer an altered seed phenotype, e.g., an increase in seed weight. Also disclosed are plants in which expression of an endogenous cytosine DNA methyltransferase is inhibited and that exhibit an altered seed phenotype, e.g., an increase in seed weight. Also disclosed are nucleic acids and polypeptides suitable for conferring such phenotypes.
