FT Family Nucleic Acids and Peptides/Proteins Providing Tobacco Flowering Inhibitory Properties and Transgenic Plants Transformed Therewith

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method for manipulating plants that do not bloom to ensure vegetative propagation and containment of transgenic plants in tobacco (Nicotiana tabacam).SOLUTION: A nucleic acid sequence encoding a protein which can (1) suppress, repress or retard the flowering of plants under each promoter and (2) is a sequence that contains the motif "NAPDIIDS" or, in a preferred case, "VNAPDIIDS" and excludes potato gene StSP5G or some of the nucleic acids thereof. Preferably, the nucleic acid sequence belongs phylogenetically to the FT clade of the PEBP gene family. The motif "(V) NAPDIIDS" replaces the motif "(V) YAPGW" of the flowering promoting protein AtFT and BvFT2.SELECTED DRAWING: None
