The present invention relates to a method of controlling the flowering time of a plant by regulating the formation of the SVP-FLM-&#x3b2; protein complex, based on the finding that the SVP-FLM-&#x3b2; protein complex is a regulating factor for plant flowering that senses small changes in ambient temperature. The FLM-&#x3b2; RNAi and SVP RNAi for controlling flowering time according to the present invention can be used to control flowering time by inhibiting the expression of FLM-&#x3b2; and SVP or regulating the interaction therebetween, and thus, they can prevent a decrease in crop production or a change in the ecosystem from being caused by a sudden change in temperature.

The present invention relates to a gene controlling the flowering time of plants, and a method for manipulating the flowering time of plants using the gene. More particularly, the present invention relates to a LOV1 gene controlling the flowering time of plants, which is isolated from, and also to a method for either delaying the flowering time of plants by overexpressing the LOV1 gene in the plants, or inducing the early flowering of the plants by repressing the expression of the LOV1 gene in the plants.

The invention relates to root-specific expansin gene to regulating root growth and obstacle-touching stress resistance in the plant, and more particularly to a root growth regulating gene, GmEXP1, isolated from soybean (Glycine max), an expansin polypeptide encoded by the gene and a method for enhancing root growth of plants by overexpression of the gene in the plants.

A semiconductor memory device including a memory cell array which is formed of each of memory cells connected to intersection of a plurality of bit lines and word lines is provided such that, during designing the layout, a length of a storage electrode of the outermost memory cell in the memory cell array is longer than that of a storage electrode of an inner memory cell, or a spacing between two bit lines in the periphery of the memory cell array is longer than that between bit lines in the inner portion of the memory cell array, or a width of an active region of the outermost memory cell is wider than that of an active region of the inner memory cell, thereby forming a metal layer having an excellent step coverage by means of only the layout arrangement without additional processes while being not concerned about the structure of a storage electrode.
