Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of genetic engineering, and in particular relates to a gene GAL2 regulating soybean flowering time and its application in plant breeding. Background technique
[0002] Soybean is one of the five major crops in my country, and it plays a very extensive role in the national economy: (1) It is an important source of human and animal plant protein; (2) It is one of the main sources of edible oil; (3) Soybean is a renewable Energy—one of the main raw materials for the production of biodiesel; (4) soybeans contain a large number of biologically active substances, such as isoflavones and D-chiro-inositol. However, for many years, my country's soybean supply has been 50% dependent on imports. Imported soybeans have obviously impacted our soybean production. Increasing soybean yield is the key to change this situation and realize soybean self-sufficiency.
[0003] Although my country is rich in soybean resources, s...
