Transcription factor sequences for conferring advantageous properties to plants

A method for delaying flowering time and/or increasing size of a plant relative to a wild-type plant of the same species, the method steps comprising:

• (a) producing an expression vector comprising a nucleotide sequence encoding a polypeptide comprising a conserved domain with at least 69% sequence identity to the conserved domain of amino acid coordinates 11-80 of SEQ ID NO:
• 66, wherein the polypeptide has a property of SEQ ID NO:
• 66 of increasing size and/or delaying flowering in a plant relative to a wild-type plant;
• (b) introducing the expression vector into a target plant to produce a transgenic plant, wherein the polypeptide is overexpressed in the transgenic plant;
• and
• (c) selecting the transgenic plant by identifying its larger size and/or delayed flowering relative to the wild-type plant.
