Characterizing the Molecular Mechanism Behind the Anti-Florigen ScFT2

, 2021
Flowering is tightly regulated through distinct genetic pathways that converge at floral integrators called florigens. These conserved proteins are synthesized in leaves and migrate to the shoot apex to form a floral activation complex, which initiates ...

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.

Regulatory frameworks involved in the floral induction, formation and developmental programming of woody horticultural plants: a case study on blueberries

Frontiers in Plant Science
Flowering represents a crucial stage in the life cycles of plants. Ensuring strong and consistent flowering is vital for maintaining crop production amidst the challenges presented by climate change. In this review, we summarized key recent efforts aimed

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.

Rice Flowering Locus T 1 plays an important role in heading date influencing yield traits in rice

Scientific Reports, 2017
Important role of flowering genes in enhancing grain productivity in rice has become well recognized for a number of key genes regulating the florigen production, but little has been known for the two florigen genes themselves.

OsFD4 promotes the rice floral transition via florigen activation complex formation in the shoot apical meristem [PDF]

, 2021
International audienceIn rice, the florigens Heading Date 3a (Hd3a) and Rice Flowering Locus T 1 (RFT1), OsFD-like basic leucine zipper (bZIP) transcription factors, and Gf14 proteins assemble into florigen activation/repressor complexes (FACs/FRCs ...

Optimization of crop productivity in tomato using induced mutations in the florigen pathway

, 2014
Naturally occurring genetic variation in the universal florigen flowering pathway has produced major advancements in crop domestication. However, variants that can maximize crop yields may not exist in natural populations.

The bZIP transcription factor AREB3 mediates FT signalling and floral transition at the Arabidopsis shoot apical meristem.

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.

Evolution of photoperiod insensitivity drove the westward expansion of broomcorn millet

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
This research highlights how ancient farming communities adapted crops to challenging environments, enabling the spread of agriculture across Eurasia. By demonstrating that broomcorn millet evolved reduced sensitivity to day‐length, the study explains how this crop could support food production in regions with short growing seasons and long summer days.

FT and florigen long-distance flowering control in plants

, 2016
The great hunt for florigen, the universal, long distance flowering regulator proposed by Chailakhan in the 1930s, resulted in the discovery a decade ago that FT-like proteins fulfilled the predictions for florigen.
