Abstract

Described are processes for producing plants whose flowering behavior is modified in comparison to wildtype plants, in particular for producing plants with early flower formation and flowering to an increased extent, and the plants resulting from that process. Further, the use of DNA molecules encoding sucrose carriers for modifying plant flowering behavior is described.
