Abstract excerpt
Overexpression of the proline biosynthetic gene P5CS1 results in early flowering in Arabidopsis. However, the p5cs1 loss-of-function mutant exhibits a modest delay in flowering, suggesting that P5CS2, a duplicated P5CS1 gene present in the Arabidopsis, may also play a role in flower transition. In situ mRNA hybridizations and quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) revealed that...
