  • Control of floral induction
    Patent number: 7071380
    Abstract: The present application discloses plant polynucleotides, their encoded polypeptide sequences, and sRNA sequences which are putative regulators of long-distance florigenic signaling and flowering control. Methods of using these sequences related to long-distance florigenic signalling, including modifying the occurrence, timing and extent of flower development by modulating the florigenic signaling pathway, are also disclosed.
