FTIP1 is an essential regulator required for florigen transport. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2012 The capacity to respond to day length, photoperiodism, is crucial for flowering plants to adapt to seasonal change. The photoperiodic control of flowering in plants is mediated by a long-distance mobile floral stimulus called florigen that moves from ...

Stress-associated protein OsSAP5 regulates rice heading date through interacting with OsGF14c in rice [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant ScienceHeading 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

Rooting Conifer Genetic Research: An Accessible and Efficient Transformation System. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol JABSTRACT Conifers serve as the cornerstone of global forest ecosystems, yet their genetic transformation faces notorious challenges. To overcome the intrinsic resistance of conifer adventitious roots to Agrobacterium/Rhizobium‐mediated transformation, we systematically and iteratively engineered the binary vector by introducing chimeric Ri plasmid ...

Germplasm screening and genome-wide PEBP profiling identify key regulators of photoperiod-insensitive flowering in winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus L) [PDF]
BMC GenomicsWinged 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.

A Daylength Recognition Model of Photoperiodic Flowering
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 The photoperiodic flowering pathway is crucial for plant development to synchronize internal signaling events and external seasons. One hundred years after photoperiodic flowering was discovered, the underlying core signaling network has been elucidated ...

Mobile Flowering Locus T RNA – Biological Relevance and Biotechnological Potential
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 Many systemically mobile mRNAs have been revealed in phloem. However, very few of them have been found to be of clear signaling functions. One of such rare examples is the mobile Flowering locus T (FT) mRNA despite the continuous debate about its ...

The flowering transition and florigen [PDF]
Current Biology, 2001 What is the flowering transition? It marks the end of vegetative growth and the beginning of reproductive development in flowering plants. The physiological changes that cause it are referred to as floral induction.What is SAM? The shoot apical meristem — a group of undifferentiated progenitor cells that occupies the tip of the stem.

Florigenic and Antiflorigenic Signaling in Plants [PDF]
Plant and Cell Physiology, 2012 The evidence that Flowering Locus T (FT) protein and its paralog Twin Sister of FT, act as the long distance floral stimulus, or at least that they are part of it in diverse plant species, has attracted much attention in recent years. Studies to understand the physiological and molecular apparatuses that integrate spatial and temporal signals to ...

Tomato yield heterosis is triggered by a dosage sensitivity of the florigen pathway that fine-tunes shoot architecture. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 The superiority of hybrids has long been exploited in agriculture, and although many models explaining "heterosis" have been put forth, direct empirical support is limited.
