Abstract: The present invention provides recombinant DNA constructs, vectors and molecules comprising a polynucleotide sequence encoding a florigenic FT protein operably linked to a vegetative stage promoter, which may also be a meristem-preferred or meristem-specific promoter. Transgenic plants, plant cells and tissues, and plant parts are further provided comprising a polynucleotide sequence encoding a florigenic FT protein. Transgenic plants comprising a florigenic FT transgene may produce more bolls, siliques, fruits, nuts, or pods per node on the transgenic plant, particularly on the main stem of the plant, relative to a control or wild type plant. Methods are further provided for introducing a florigenic FT transgene into a plant, and planting transgenic FT plants in the field including at higher densities. Transgenic plants of the present invention may thus provide greater yield potential than wild type plants and may be planted at a higher density due to their altered plant architecture.

Abstract: This disclosure provides recombinant DNA constructs and modified or transgenic plants having enhanced traits such as increased yield, increased nitrogen use efficiency, and enhanced drought tolerance or water use efficiency. Modified or transgenic plants may include field crops as well as plant propagules, plant parts and progeny of such modified or transgenic plants. Methods of making and using such modified or transgenic plants are also provided, as are methods of producing seed from such modified or transgenic plants, growing such seed, and selecting progeny plants with enhanced traits. Further disclosed are modified or transgenic plants with altered phenotypes or traits which are useful for screening and selecting transgenic events, edits or mutations with a desired enhanced trait.
