Abstract
Methods and materials for modulating abscission and/or inflorescence development time levels in plants are disclosed. For example, nucleic acids encoding abscission and/or inflorescence development time-modulating polypeptides are disclosed as well as methods for using such nucleic acids to transform plant cells. Also disclosed are plants having modulated abscission and/or inflorescence development time levels and plant products produced from plants having such levels.
