The Importance of Being on Time: Regulatory Networks Controlling Photoperiodic Flowering in Cereals
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017 Flowering is the result of the coordination between genetic information and environmental cues. Gene regulatory networks have evolved in plants in order to measure diurnal and seasonal variation of day length (or photoperiod), thus aligning the ...

Crosstalk between Photoreceptor and Sugar Signaling Modulates Floral Signal Transduction
Frontiers in Physiology, 2017 Over the past decade, integrated genetic, cellular, proteomic and genomic approaches have begun to unravel the surprisingly crosstalk between photoreceptors and sugar signaling in regulation of floral signal transduction.

Pleiotropic Effects of Rice Florigen Gene RFT1 on the Amino Acid Content of Unmilled Rice
Frontiers in Genetics, 2020 In rice, the contents of protein and amino acids are the major parameters of nutritional quality. Co-localization of quantitative trait loci (QTLs) for heading date and protein content were reported, but pleiotropism of heading-date genes on protein ...

LEAFY, a Pioneer Transcription Factor in Plants: A Mini-Review
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 A subset of eukaryotic transcription factors (TFs) possess the ability to reprogram one cell type into another. Genes important for cellular reprograming are typically located in closed chromatin, which is covered by nucleosomes.

Photoperiodic regulation of flowering time through periodic histone deacetylation of the florigen gene FT. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2013 The developmental transition from a vegetative to a reproductive phase (i.e., flowering) is timed by the seasonal cue day length or photoperiod in many plant species.

PLoS Genetics, 2023 The floral transition occurs at the shoot apical meristem (SAM) in response to favourable external and internal signals. Among these signals, variations in daylength (photoperiod) act as robust seasonal cues to activate flowering.

Florigen and anti-florigen: flowering regulation in horticultural crops
Breeding Science, 2018 Flowering time regulation has significant effects on the agricultural and horticultural industries. Plants respond to changing environments and produce appropriate floral inducers (florigens) or inhibitors (anti-florigens) that determine flowering time. Recent studies have demonstrated that members of two homologous proteins, FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) and

The quest for florigen: a review of recent progress [PDF]
Journal of Experimental Botany, 2006 The photoperiodic induction of flowering is a systemic process requiring translocation of a floral stimulus from the leaves to the shoot apical meristem. In response to this stimulus, the apical meristem stops producing leaves to initiate floral development; this switch in morphogenesis involves a change in the identity of the primordia initiated and ...

Suid-Afrikaanse Tydskrif vir Natuurwetenskap en Tegnologie, 2006 In order to obtain flowering, different applications of chemicals on plants were tested by several researchers. Substances that were tested were, amongst others, auxin, gibberellin, cytokinin, abscisic acid, prostaglandin; melatonin. All had an effect on flowering.
