BrAGL20 ( SOC1 ) containing MADS box, a floral integrator gene, was introduced into Brassica napus cv. “Youngsan” by Agrobacterium -mediated transformation. Constitutively overexpressed BrAGL20 under the CaMV 35S promoter induced early flowering time compared to the wild-type. These phenotypes were...
