Abstract
FCA genes of Arabidopsis thaliana and Brassica napus are provided, enabling flowering characteristics, particularly timing of flowering, to be influenced in transgenic plants. Timing of flowering may be delayed or hastened using sense and antisense expression, also various mutants and alleles, including alternatively spliced forms.
