Molecular control and variation in the floral transition

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2002
The common controls that are involved in both vegetative and floral development are becoming apparent at the molecular level. Intriguing links are also emerging between developmental events during the juvenile/adult and floral transitions. This progress has made it possible to test the annual model of floral transition in a wide range of plant species,

The Maize Floral Transition

2009
The floral transition is a critical developmental change in a plant's life cycle that is marked by the switch from vegetative to reproductive growth. The transition is induced by leaf-derived signals that translocate through the phloem to the shoot apex where the shoot apical meristem is reprogrammed to adopt a floral fate.

PHOSPHATE1-mediated phosphate translocation from roots to shoots regulates floral transition in plants.

Journal of Experimental Botany
Phosphorus nutrition has been known to influence floral transition in plants for a long time, but the underlying mechanism is unclear. Arabidopsis PHOSPHATE1 (PHO1) plays a critical role in phosphate translocation from roots to shoots, but whether and ...

Nitric Oxide Represses the Arabidopsis Floral Transition

Science, 2004
The correct timing of flowering is essential for plants to maximize reproductive success and is controlled by environmental and endogenous signals. We report that nitric oxide (NO) repressed the floral transition in Arabidopsis thaliana .

Evolutionary Transitions in Floral Color

International Journal of Plant Sciences, 2008
The tremendous diversity in flower color among angiosperms implies that there have been numerous evolutionary transitions in this character. The conventional wisdom is that a large proportion of these transitions reflect adaptation to novel pollinator regimes.

Control of floral transition in the bioenergy crop switchgrass

Plant, Cell & Environment, 2016
AbstractSwitchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), a perennial warm season bunchgrass native to North America, has been a target in the U.S. as a renewable bioenergy crop because of its ability to produce moderate to high biomass yield on marginal soils. Delaying flowering can increase vegetative biomass production by allowing prolonged growth before switching

ABI4 regulates the floral transition independently of ABI5 and ABI3

Molecular Biology Reports, 2018
Emerging evidence suggests that the stress hormone abscisic acid (ABA) is also involved in the floral transition control. The transcription factors ABA INSENSITIVE4 (ABI4) and ABI5 negatively regulate flowering by directly promoting FLOWERING LOCUS C expression, and ABI3 also negatively regulates the floral transition.

Environmental-Dependent Acceleration of a Developmental Switch: The Floral Transition

Science Signaling, 2000
The transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth in plants in which flowers are produced requires the activation of specific genes. Simpson and Dean discuss two recent reports that characterize the FLOWERING LOCUS T ( FT ) gene in Arabidopsis , which is ...

Strigolactone represses the synthesis of melatonin, thereby inducing floral transition in Arabidopsis thaliana in an FLC‐dependent manner

Journal of Pineal Research, 2019
The transition from vegetative to reproductive growth is a key developmental event in a plant's life cycle. The process is mediated by a combination of phytohormones, including melatonin (MT) and strigolactone (SL).

PIL5 represses floral transition in Arabidopsis under long day conditions

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2018
PHYTOCHROME INTERACING FACTOR 3 LIKE 5 (PIL5), also named PHYTOCHROME INTERACTING FACTOR 1 (PIF1) is an important b-HLH transcription factor in Arabidopsis thaliana. Here we show that mutant of pil5-1 displays early flowering phenotype. We demonstrate that the expressions of the major flowering promoter genes [FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), SUPPRESOR OF ...
