Abstract excerpt
Photoperiod and vernalization are the two key environmental factors of the floral induction of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne L.). Transition from vegetative to reproductive growth will only occur after an extended vernalization period, followed by an increase in day length and temperature. Here we report on the isolation and characterization of a L. perenne gene (LpCO ) that is homologous to CONSTANS , and...
