The present invention provides means for inhibiting the bolting and flowering of aplant, including an isolated nucleic acid, which can be used to produce a transgenicplant, where bolting and flowering is inhibited after vernalization. Furthermore, the invention discloses vectors, transgenic and non-transgenic, non-bolting plants and parts thereof, and methods for producing such plants.

Inhibition of bolting and flowering of a beta vulgaris plant

A means for inhibiting the bolting and flowering of sugar beet plant, including an isolated nucleic acid, a vector or mobile genetic element which can be used to produce a sugar beet, in which stem elongation post-vernalization is inhibited. Further, a transgenic sugar beet plant comprising the nucleic acid, vector or mobile genetic element, in which bolting and flowering is inhibited after vernalization, a method for producing such transgenic sugar beet plant, and a process for the inhibition of bolting and flowering of sugar beet plant.
