1. A transgenic soybean plant comprising an insertion of a recombinant DNA construct comprising a polynucleotide sequence encoding a florigenic FT protein operably linked to a meristem-preferred or meristem-specific promoter comprising a polynucleotide sequence that is at least 90% identical to a polynucleotide sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 21, SEQ ID NO: 22, and SEQ ID NO: 38, wherein the florigenic FT protein comprises an amino acid sequence having at least 92% identity to a sequence selected from the group consisting of SEQ ID NO: 4, SEQ ID NO: 8, and SEQ ID NO: 12 into the genome of the transgenic soybean plant, wherein the transgenic soybean plant has more floral racemes per node than a control plant not having the recombinant DNA construct.
