Florigen and Florigen‐Like Genes Regulate Temperature‐Responsive Flowering in Tomato [PDF]

Advanced Science
Seasonal temperature fluctuations serve as crucial environmental cues that regulate plant reproductive timing, yet the mechanisms underlying thermoresponsive flowering regulation in tomato remain poorly understood.

Florigen governs shoot regeneration [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2021
It is widely known that during the reproductive stage (flowering), plants do not root well. Most protocols of shoot regeneration in plants utilize juvenile tissue.

Florigen and anti-florigen - a systemic mechanism for coordinating growth and termination in flowering plants [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2014
Genetic studies in Arabidopsis established FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) as a key flower-promoting gene in photoperiodic systems. Grafting experiments established unequivocal one-to-one relations between SFT (SINGLE FLOWER TRUSS), a tomato homolog of FT, and ...

Fine-Tuning Florigen Increases Field Yield Through Improving Photosynthesis in Soybean

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
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 ...

Accelerated Flowering and Differential Florigen Gene Expression of Seagrass Zostera marina Under Experimental Warming [PDF]

Ecology and Evolution
Flowering is an important trait for the resilience of marine angiosperms (seagrasses) as they face rising seawater temperatures, more frequent extreme weather events, and anthropogenic disturbances.

Molecular function of florigen

Breeding Science, 2017
Florigen is a mobile flowering signal in plants that has a strong impact on plant reproduction and is considered one of the important targets for crop improvement. At the molecular level, florigen is represented as a protein product encoded by the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) gene, which is highly conserved across flowering plants and thus the understanding ...

Functional Divergence of the Arabidopsis Florigen-Interacting bZIP Transcription Factors FD and FDP

Cell Reports, 2020
Summary: Flowering of many plant species depends on interactions between basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors and systemically transported florigen proteins.

The ZmCOP1s-ZmCOL3 Module Enhances Late Flowering, Grain Yield and Grain Quality in Maize. [PDF]

Plant Biotechnol J
ABSTRACT Flowering time is a key determinant of yield and regional adaptation in crops and is largely controlled by light signalling. In this study, we identified two maize orthologs of Arabidopsis CONSTITUTIVE PHOTOMORPHOGENIC 1 (COP1), designated ZmCOP1a and ZmCOP1b, which activate light signalling and reduce plant height. Loss‐of‐function mutants of

Companion cells with high florigen production express other small proteins and reveal a nitrogen-sensitive FT repressor [PDF]

eLife
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]

BMC Genomics
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
