INTRODUCTION
Soybean yield directly depends on flowering.
Understanding the flowering process at molecular level will help us control the process.
HOW?
Molecular analysis of soybean flowering genes
Bioinformatics
Functional genomics
Genetic modification
Phenotyping
Plant
hormones
Daylength
& light quality
Ambient temperature
Vernalisation
WHY SOYBEAN?
It is the world’s largest grown legume crop, used for its oil and proteins as well as industrial products.
Autonomous
Cues
SIGNIFICANCE
Reduced flowering time
Improved yield
Understanding the molecular identity of flowering time genes
Floral pathway integrator genes
LFY,FT,SOC1
FINDING THE
TARGET
Floral repressor genes
FLC
Controlling the genes that controls the flowering time.
Vegetative
phase
Transition
phase
Time to
flower
Our target
