Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: A DTH8/Ghd8 allele suppresses flowering by altering the expression patterns of the 'florigen' genes, but also negatively regulates chlorophyll biogenesis. Flowering time is a critical agronomic trait determining the growing season, regional adaptation and yield potential in rice (Oryza sativa L.). We characterized a mutant named early flowering 8 (ef8) selected from an ethyl methanesulfonate...
