Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: We identified and characterized a dominant FT allele for flowering without vernalization in Brassica rapa, while demonstrating its potential for deployment in breeding to accelerate flowering in various Brassicaceae crops. Controlling the timing of flowering is key to improving yield and quality of several agricultural crops including the Brassicas. Many Brassicaceae crops possess a conserved...
