Abstract
The invention provides nucleic acid isolates comprising nucleotide sequences encoding polypeptides having Gl function, or which are complementary to such sequences. Constructs containing such nucleic acids are useful in transforming plants to control flowering and/or starch accumulation in the transformed plant.
Claims10
An isolated polynucleotide selected from the group consisting of:
- (a) a polynucleotide consisting essentially of a nucleotide sequence that is at least 95% sequence identical, as determined by the BLAST algorithm under default parameters, to the full length sequence of SEQ ID NO:
- 5;
- wherein the polynucleotide encodes a polypeptide having GI function;
- (b) a polynucleotide consisting essentially of a sequence encoding the polypeptide of SEQ ID NO:6;
- and
- (c) SEQ ID NO:
- 5;
- and
- (d) a polynucleotide which is complimentary to the polynucleotide of (a), (b), or (c).
