Cadmium induces early flowering in Arabidopsis

open access: yesBiologia 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 ...

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 ...

Root colonization by the endophytic fungus Piriformospora indica shortens the juvenile phase of Piper nigrum L. by fine tuning the floral promotion pathways

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Piriformospora indica, the mutualistic biotrophic root colonizing endosymbiotic fungus belonging to the order Sebacinales, offers host plants various benefits and enhances its growth and performance. The effect of colonization of P.

Structural Features Determining Flower-Promoting Activity of Arabidopsis FLOWERING LOCUS T [PDF]

open access: yesThe Plant Cell, 2014
In Arabidopsis thaliana, the genes FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) and TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1) have antagonistic roles in regulating the onset of flowering: FT activates and TFL1 represses flowering. Both encode small, closely related transcription cofactors of ∼175 amino acids.

The sugar transporter SWEET10 acts downstream of FLOWERING LOCUS T during floral transition of Arabidopsis thaliana

open access: yesBMC 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.

Flowering Times of Wild Arabidopsis Accessions From Across Norway Correlate With Expression Levels of FT, CO, and FLC Genes

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Temperate species often require or flower most rapidly in the long daylengths, or photoperiods, experienced in summer or after prolonged periods of cold temperatures, referred to as vernalization.

Recent Advances of Flowering Locus T Gene in Higher Plants [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2012
Flowering Locus T (FT) can promote flowering in the plant photoperiod pathway and also facilitates vernalization flowering pathways and other ways to promote flowering. The expression of products of the FT gene is recognized as important parts of the flowering hormone and can induce flowering by long-distance transportation.

Variation in shade-induced flowering in Arabidopsis thaliana results from FLOWERING LOCUS T allelic variation. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS 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.

Systemic movement of FT mRNA and a possible role in floral induction

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2012
FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) protein is known to be part of the mobile flowering inducing ‘florigen’ signal in plants, but it may not be acting alone. This article reviews the data that FT mRNA can also move systemically throughout the plant and into the shoot

Post-Translational Regulation of FLOWERING LOCUS T Protein in Arabidopsis [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Plant, 2016
Here, we report the developmental regulation of proteolytic cleavage of the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) protein. FT, a member of the phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP) family, functions as a florigen or a component of florigen. PEBP binds phosphoethanolamine, and its ligand-binding domain is evolutionarily conserved from bacteria to plants and ...
