Canalization of flower production across thermal environments requires Florigen and CLAVATA signaling [PDF]
Current BiologyThe maintenance of invariant developmental phenotypes across disparate environments is termed canalization, but few examples of canalization mechanisms are described.

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 ...

Florigen and its homologs of FT/CETS/PEBP/RKIP/YbhB family may be the enzymes of small molecule metabolism: review of the evidence [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2022 Background Flowering signals are sensed in plant leaves and transmitted to the shoot apical meristems, where the formation of flowers is initiated. Searches for a diffusible hormone-like signaling entity (“florigen”) went on for many decades, until a ...

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.

Maize adaptation across temperate climates was obtained via expression of two florigen genes.
PLoS Genetics, 2020 Expansion of the maize growing area was central for food security in temperate regions. In addition to the suppression of the short-day requirement for floral induction, it required breeding for a large range of flowering time that compensates the effect

Suppressor of rid1 (SID1) shares common targets with RID1 on florigen genes to initiate floral transition in rice. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2017 The transition from vegetative to reproductive growth is a critical process in the life cycle of higher plants. Previously, we cloned Rice Indeterminate 1 (RID1), which acts as the master switch for the transition from the vegetative to reproductive ...

Post-Translational Control of TaFT1 by WAPO1 Ubiquitination Shapes Spike Architecture and Yield in Wheat. [PDF]
Plant Biotechnol JABSTRACT The florigen protein TaFT1 coordinately regulates heading time and spikelet number per spike (SNS), serving as a key yield determinant in wheat. However, how its stability is post‐translationally controlled in the shoot apical meristem remains unclear.

14-3-3 proteins: Central hubs in plant development and stress adaptation. [PDF]
J Integr Plant BiolThis review highlights recent advances elucidating the important roles of 14‐3‐3 proteins in regulating phytohormone networks, biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, growth‐defense trade‐offs, and evolutionary adaptations. Furthermore, it provides a forward‐looking perspective on 14‐3‐3 biology and the development of climate‐resilient smart crops under ...

Florigen governs shoot regeneration
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.
