Claims16
An antisense nucleic acid molecule complementary to all or a portion of SEQ ID NO:1 and
- wherein the antisense nucleic acid molecule can suppress or inhibit the expression of MdTFL gene of SEQ ID NO:1.
A seed comprising an antisense nucleic acid molecule complementary to all or a portion of SEQ ID NO:1 and
- wherein the antisense nucleic acid molecule can suppress or inhibit the expression of MdTFL gene of SEQ ID NO:1.
A method for conferring an early flowering property on a plant, comprising suppressing expression or activity of an endogenous MdTFL gene of SEQ ID NO:1 in a plant by introducing into said plant an antisense nucleic acid molecule which is complementary to all or a portion of SEQ ID NO:1 and
- wherein the antisense nucleic acid molecule can suppress or inhibit the expression of MdTFL gene of SEQ ID NO:1.
