The present invention relates to a flowering-time and/or stem elongation
regulator isolated from rice, which is selected from OsMADS50, OsMADSS1,
OsMADS56, OsMADS14, OsTRX1, OsVIN1, OsCOL4 and OsCOLS, a DNA construct
containing the regulator, a transgenic plant, a part thereof, and plant
cell transformed with the DNA construct, and method to control
flowering-time and/or stem elongation using the regulator. In the present
invention, the flowering-time and/or stem elongation can be controlled,
and thereby, various agricultural benefits obtained.
