Fine-Tuning Florigen Increases Field Yield Through Improving Photosynthesis in Soybean
Crop yield has been maintaining its attraction for researchers because of the demand of global population growth. Mutation of flowering activators, such as florigen, increases plant biomass at the expense of later flowering, which prevents crop maturity ...

A rhizobium-induced FT-FD module locally activates nodule stem cell gene to promote nodulation [PDF]
Functional divergence of gene homologs enables species to evolve unique physiological processes, such as nitrogen fixation of nodules in legumes. Nodulation is initiated via rhizobia-induced reactivation of root cortical cells into stem cells, yet the ...

Triple florigenic signaling in rice promotes stem elongation via transcriptional de-repression. [PDF]
Significance Statement Rice florigenic proteins Hd3a, RFT1, and FT‐L1 coordinate reproductive transition with stem elongation through repression of PINE1 expression, independently of floral MADS box proteins, relieving repression of internode growth. PINE1 represses growth by transcriptionally repressing target genes by interacting with TOPLESS‐related

Companion cells with high florigen production express other small proteins and reveal a nitrogen-sensitive FT repressor [PDF]
The precise onset of flowering is crucial for successful reproduction. In longer days, the florigen gene FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) is induced in specific leaf phloem companion cells in Arabidopsis.

FT-like genes in Cannabis and hops: sex specific expression and copy-number variation may explain flowering time variation [PDF]
Cannabis sativa is a fascinating, yet under-researched, species. To facilitate the global expansion of C. sativa cultivation a greater understanding of flowering time control is crucial. The PEBP gene family consists of universal promoters and repressors

Germplasm screening and genome-wide PEBP profiling identify key regulators of photoperiod-insensitive flowering in winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus L) [PDF]
Winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus L.) is a nutritionally rich underutilized tropical legume. It requires short-day (SD) conditions for flowering, which limits its cultivation across seasons and regions.

Stress-associated protein OsSAP5 regulates rice heading date through interacting with OsGF14c in rice [PDF]
Heading date, a critical agronomic trait determining rice regional adaptation and yield potential, is regulated by complex genetic networks. Although stress-associated proteins (SAPs) are well-documented mediators of abiotic stress responses, their roles
