Claim 16:
17. A method comprising (a) introducing into one or more plant cell(s) at least one chromosomal loss-of-function mutation into at least one endogenous cdk8 gene and into endogenous jaz genes jaz1, jaz2, jaz5, and jaz6, wherein the endogenous cdk8 gene(s) encode an amino acid sequence having at least 90% identity to SEQ ID NO: 53, 56, 58, 59, 61, 63, or 65, the jaz1 gene encodes an amino acid sequence having at least 90% identity to SEQ ID NO: 1, the jaz2 gene encodes an amino acid sequence having at least 90% identity to SEQ ID NO: 3, 26, 27, or 28, the jaz5 gene encodes an amino acid sequence having at least 90% identity to SEQ ID NO: 9, 37, 38, or 39, and the jaz6 gene encodes an amino acid sequence having at least 90% identity to SEQ ID NO: 11, 40, 41, or 42; and (b) generating a plant from the one or more plant cell(s) comprising the at least one chromosomal loss-of-function mutation in the at least one endogenous cdk8 gene and the endogenous jaz genes jaz1, jaz2, jaz5, and jaz6.
