ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides polynucleotides encoding CCAAT-binding transcription factor polypeptides that modulate the onset of reproductive development in plants. Polynucleotides encoding functional CCAAT-binding transcription factors were incorporated into expression vectors, introduced into plants, and ectopically expressed. The encoded polypeptides of the invention significantly shortened the time to flower development in the transgenic plants, as compared to the flowering time of control plants.
