A Daylength Recognition Model of Photoperiodic Flowering

open access: yesFrontiers 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

open access: yesFrontiers 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 ...

Functional Analysis of OsKANADI1, A Florigen Hd3a Interacting Protein in Rice (Oryza sativa L.) [PDF]

open access: yesIndonesian Journal of Biotechnology, 2015
OsKANADI1 is considered as a florigen Hd3a interacting protein. To study the function of OsKANADI1, the expression pattern of OsKANADI1 was performed by semiquantitative RT-PCR with various wild-type tissues in the floral transition stage.

FTIP1 is an essential regulator required for florigen transport. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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 ...

Control of water-use efficiency by florigen [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
A major issue in modern agriculture is water loss through stomata during photosynthetic carbon assimilation. In water‐limited ecosystems, annual plants have strategies to synchronize their growth and reproduction to the availability of water.

Data_Sheet_1_Fine-Tuning Florigen Increases Field Yield Through Improving Photosynthesis in Soybean.zip

open access: yes, 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 ...

Foreign Cry1Ab/c Delays Flowering in Insect-Resistant Transgenic Rice via Interaction With Hd3a Florigen

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Genetic modifications in rice, which resulted in insect resistance, have been highly efficacious. However, they have also induced undesirable secondary phenotypes, such as delayed flowering. The molecular mechanisms associated with these unwanted effects

Altered Expression of an FT Cluster Underlies a Major Locus Controlling Domestication-Related Changes to Chickpea Phenology and Growth Habit

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Flowering time is a key trait in breeding and crop evolution, due to its importance for adaptation to different environments and for yield. In the particular case of chickpea, selection for early phenology was essential for the successful transition of ...

Inter-species functional compatibility of the Theobroma cacao and Arabidopsis FT orthologs: 90 million years of functional conservation of meristem identity genes

open access: yesBMC Plant Biology, 2021
Background In angiosperms the transition to flowering is controlled by a complex set of interacting networks integrating a range of developmental, physiological, and environmental factors optimizing transition time for maximal reproductive efficiency ...

Geminivirus-Mediated Delivery of Florigen Promotes Determinate Growth in Aerial Organs and Uncouples Flowering from Photoperiod in Cotton [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
This article discusses geminivirus-mediated delivery of florigen. Florigen acts as a general growth hormone, advancing determinate growth. The findings extend our understanding of florigen as a general growth hormone and could benefit crop management ...
