Abstract
A plant gene construct is disclosed comprising a complete or partial DNA sequence coding for an ATH1 gene product under the control of a promoter functional in plants. The promoter is preferably heterologous. Plant cells are transformed with such a plant gene construct, and plants comprising such cells have modified flowering properties. There is further described a process for modifying the flowering process in plants by transforming plants with a construct according to the invention.
