<i>BpFLC</i> coordinates seasonal and age-related flowering in <i>Betula platyphylla</i> through environmental cues and epigenetic regulation
-mediated downregulation of flowering-promoting TFs to delay flowering. The greater transgene containment with growth/biomass benefit would be a unique economic trait for any key forest species.
