The invention claimed is: 1. A method of preventing or reducing the likelihood of disease in a seed or plant comprising: administering to said seed or plant a composition comprising: (i) an isolated polypeptide comprising SEQ ID NO: 1, said polypeptide optionally having one conservative amino acid substitutions; or, (ii) a nucleic acid sequence encoding said polypeptide. 2. A method of inducing early flowers in a seed or a plant comprising: administering to said plant a composition comprising: (i) an isolated polypeptide comprising SEQ ID NO: 1, said polypeptide optionally having one conservative amino acid substitutions; or, (ii) a nucleic acid sequence encoding said polypeptide. 3. A method of modulating heat in a seed or a plant comprising: administering to said seed or plant a composition comprising: (i) an isolated polypeptide comprising SEQ ID NO: 1, said polypeptide optionally having one conservative amino acid substitutions; or, (ii) a nucleic acid sequence encoding said polypeptide. 4. A method for modulating, preventing or treating condition in a seed or a plant comprising: administering to said seed or plant a composition comprising: (i) an isolated polypeptide comprising SEQ ID NO: 1, optionally having one conservative amino acid substitutions; or (ii) a nucleic acid sequence encoding a polypeptide comprising SEQ ID NO: 1, optionally having one conservative amino acid substitutions. 5. The method of claim 4 wherein said condition is a metabolic condition. 6. The method of claim 4 wherein said condition is a mitochondrial condition. 7. The method of claim 4 wherein said condition is a thermogenic or pyrogenic condition. 8. The method of claim 1, 2, 3, or 4 wherein the plant is wheat, barley, rice, corn, sugar or soy. 9. The method of claim 1, 2, 3, or 4 wherein the plant is a flowering plant. 10. The method of claim 1, 2, 3, or 4 wherein the plant is a rose, gardenia, orchid, carnation, or bird of paradise. 11. The method of claim 1, 2, 3, or 4 wherein the plant is a tree. 12. The method of claim 1, 2, 3, or 4 wherein the administration is via spray. 13. The method of claim 1, 2, 3, or 4 wherein the administration is via drip irrigation. 14. The method of claim 1, 2, 3, or 4 wherein the administration is via dipping at least a portion of the seed or plant.
