    摘要: The present invention provides a recombinant nucleic acid molecule containing an inducible regulatory element operably linked to a nucleic acid molecule encoding a floral meristem identity gene product such as APETALA1 (AP1), CAULIFLOWER (CAL) or LEAFY (LFY). The invention also provides a transgenic seed plant, such as an angiosperm or gymnosperm, that contains a recombinant nucleic acid molecule of the invention. The invention further provides methods, such as methods of converting shoot meristem to floral meristem in a transgenic angiosperm and methods of promoting early reproductive development in a seed plant, which use a recombinant nucleic acid molecule of the invention. In addition, the invention provides a nucleic acid molecule encoding a chimeric protein, which contains a nucleic acid molecule encoding a floral meristem identity gene product linked in frame to a nucleic acid molecule encoding a ligand binding domain. The invention also provides a transgenic seed plant, such as an angiosperm or gymnosperm, that contains a nucleic acid molecule encoding a chimeric protein of the invention. Also provided herein are methods, such as methods of converting shoot meristem to floral meristem in a transgenic angiosperm and methods of promoting early reproductive development in a seed plant, which use a nucleic acid molecule encoding a chimeric protein of the invention.

    摘要: The present invention provides a nucleic acid molecule encoding a CAULIFLOWER (CAL) gene product such as a nucleic acid molecule encoding Arabidopsis thaliana CAL and a nucleic acid molecule encoding Brassica oleracea CAL (BoCAL). The invention also provides a nucleic acid molecule encoding a truncated CAL gene product such as a nucleic acid molecule encoding Brassica oleracea var. botrytis CAL (BobCAL). The invention also provides a nucleic acid containing the Arabidopsis thaliana CAL gene, a nucleic acid molecule containing the Brassica oleracea CAL gene and a nucleic acid molecule containing the Brassica oleracea var. botrytis CAL gene. The invention further provides a kit for converting shoot meristem to floral meristem and a kit for promoting early flowering in an angiosperm. The invention provides a CAL polypeptide and an antibody that specifically binds CAL polypeptide. In addition, the invention provides the truncated BobCAL polypeptide and an antibody that specifically binds truncated BobCAL polypeptide. The invention further provides a method of identifying a Brassica having a modified CAL allele by detecting a polymorphism associated with a CAL locus, where the CAL locus comprises a modified CAL allele that does not encode an active CAL gene product.
