Abstract
The objectives of this project are to develop widely applicable genetic tools that will allow the genetic control of flowering for the purpose of containment of transgenes and control of lfowering time. Our spcific objectives are to provide clones and information on Arabidopsis flowering time genes, carry out detailed analysis of in vivo function of FRI, VRN1 and VRN2, generate consrtucts to provide inducible expression of FCA in Arabidopsis, isolate Lolium FRI and FCA together with Festuca VRN1 and VRN2 homologues, lastly to provide relevant expression constructs for Lolium transformation.
