In: Journal of Agricultural Research Kafrelsheikh Univeristy 2009.v.35(2)Summary: The present study was carrried out in the institute of Biological Production Systems, Fruit Science Section, Leibniz University Hannover, Germany during post-doctoral scholarship of the first auther 2007. Efficient breeding of fruit trees such as apple is limited by the long period of juvenility lasting several years. During recent years, many factors controlling the transition period from juvenile to adult stage were identified, mainly using the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Several genes such as LEAFY (LFf), APETAU1 (API), TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1), and FLOWERING LOCUS T (F1), which control flowering time, have been isolated from Arabidopsis.We used an RNAi based approach to induce post-transcriptional gene silencing of the MdTFL1 gene in apple in order to reduce the juvenile phase.
