The sugar transporter SWEET10 acts downstream of FLOWERING LOCUS T during floral transition of Arabidopsis thaliana [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2020 Background Floral transition initiates reproductive development of plants and occurs in response to environmental and endogenous signals. In Arabidopsis thaliana, this process is accelerated by several environmental cues, including exposure to long days.

Cadmium induces early flowering in Arabidopsis
Biologia Plantarum, 2012 We found that cadmium promoted flowering in Arabidopsis and suppressed nitric oxide accumulation in leaves. Supplementation with NO donor SNP delayed flowering, whereas application of NO scavenger cPTIO further promoted the transition from vegetative to ...

Variation in shade-induced flowering in Arabidopsis thaliana results from FLOWERING LOCUS T allelic variation. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 Plants have evolved developmental mechanisms to ensure reproduction when in sub-optimal local environments. The shade-avoidance syndrome is one such mechanism that causes plants to elongate and accelerate flowering.

GmFT2a, a soybean homolog of FLOWERING LOCUS T, is involved in flowering transition and maintenance. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2011 BACKGROUND: Flowering reversion can be induced in soybean (Glycine max L. Merr.), a typical short-day (SD) dicot, by switching from SD to long-day (LD) photoperiods.

NUCLEAR FACTOR Y, Subunit A (NF-YA) Proteins Positively Regulate Flowering and Act Through FLOWERING LOCUS T. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2016 Photoperiod dependent flowering is one of several mechanisms used by plants to initiate the developmental transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth. The NUCLEAR FACTOR Y (NF-Y) transcription factors are heterotrimeric complexes composed of

FLOWERING LOCUS T mediates photo-thermal timing of inflorescence meristem arrest in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]
Plant Physiol, 2023 Plants integrate environmental information into their developmental program throughout their lifetime. Light and temperature are particularly critical cues for plants to correctly time developmental transitions.

Functional Redundancy of FLOWERING LOCUS T 3b in Soybean Flowering Time Regulation. [PDF]
Int J Mol Sci, 2022 Photoperiodic flowering is an important agronomic trait that determines adaptability and yield in soybean and is strongly influenced by FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) genes.

Genetic and Epigenetic Understanding of the Seasonal Timing of Flowering
Plant Communications, 2020 The developmental transition to flowering in many plants is timed by changing seasons, which enables plants to flower at a season that is favorable for seed production. Many plants grown at high latitudes perceive the seasonal cues of changing day length
