ABSTRACT:
The invention discloses nucleic acid encoding an FY polypeptide with the sequence shown in Annex 2. Also provided are vectors, host cells and plants. Methods of the invention include the use of nucleic acids to express or down-regulate FY in plants. The methods may be used to affect flowering time or juvenile phase length in plants.
