Design a set of experiments to test the hypothesis that transcription occurs in the roots only and that the protein is transported to the floral meristem.

As a grad student studying flowering time in coffee, I may have discovered a protein that causes the plant to flower early. Since coffee plants are hard to work with, I switch my work to Arabidopsis to move along my work. Luckily, Arabidopsis has a close homologue that behaves in a similar manner. If my hypothesis is correct, what results would you expect from these experiments?
