Gene controlling flowering time and method for controlling flowering time in plants using the gene

摘要

The present invention is a gene to control the flowering time of plants, and relates to a flowering-time regulating method of a plant using the same, and more particularly, the flowering regulatory genes of a plant COG and the COG gene shown in SEQ ID NO: 1, isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana and then inserted in the forward or reverse direction in a vector for transforming plants, to delay the flowering time of a plant by transgenic overexpression of the COG gene in the conversion plant with the vector or suppressing the expression of the COG gene induces early flowering of the plant It relates to a method. COG COG protein expressed from the gene and the gene of the invention can be useful like of the navigation flowering regulatory genes for improvement and other plants of flowering-related traits of the plant. In addition, by transforming a plant using a COG flowering regulatory genes of the plant, and to induce early flowering and development of dwarf plants to shorten the growing period, and increase the crop production.
