METHODS FOR MODIFYING FLOWERING TIME AND SEED YIELD IN FIELD CROPS

Methods for manipulating yield and generation time of short day plants grown in a field environment are provided. The methods comprise manipulating external signals such as photoperiod in order to increase the per plant seed yield. Also provided are methods for synchronizing the flowering times of p...
