1. A wheat plant, or a cell thereof, having a modified genome that results in the wheat plant exhibiting modified architecture in comparison to an unmodified wheat plant having a reference genome, wherein the modified genome differs from the reference genome by comprising at least one predetermined modification of a gene, wherein the at least one predetermined modification comprises heterologous integration of a nucleic acid sequence that is encoded by at least one donor polynucleotide molecule and that comprises a regulatory element, at a predetermined locus between 1-1000 nucleotides upstream of the start codon of the coding sequence of the gene in the reference genome, wherein the regulatory element comprises SEQ ID NO: 231, and wherein the predetermined modification of the gene results in increased expression of the gene relative to expression of the gene in the reference genome.
