Nara researchers identify protein as flowering signal in rice

OSAKA, Japan - Researchers at the Nara Institute of Science and Technology in Nara Prefecture have identified in rice a mobile flowering signal, they said in U.S. journal Science on April 19. Professor Ko Shimamoto says a protein (green area at the tip of a rice stem), identified in the research, may be the same flowering signal for all plants and that the findings could pave the way for the development of an agent that enables plant flowering at any time.
