A novel plant steroid receptor, BIN1, is provided, as well as polynucleotides encoding BIN1. The function of BIN1, an extracellular steroid-binding receptor, is provided as well as its primary binding affinity with brassinolide. BIN1 polypeptide is useful in promoting increased plant yield and/or increased plant biomass.

Receptor kinase, BIN1

A novel plant steroid 5&agr;-reductase, DET2, is provided, as well as polynucleotides encoding DET2. DET2 is useful in promoting increased plant yield and/or increased plant biomass. Genetically modified plants characterized as having increased yield and methods for producing such plants are also provided.
