The German research has identified key regulatory genes in plants that switch off flowering and allow plants to live longer, grow faster and become bigger. The breakthrough was made after discovering a mutant tobacco plant that showed permanent vegetative growth, no ageing, evergreen leaves and late or no flowering.
Study revealed special protein
Analysis of the tobacco plant revealed that it has a special protein that inhibits the flowering process. The result is a
