Circadian Rhythms: FLOWERING LOCUS T Extends Opening Hours [PDF]

Current Biology, 2011
Plants are more sensitive to light in the day than at night due to the circadian clock. The protein that acts downstream from the clock to modulate blue light signalling in stomata comes as a surprise; it is FT, which is thought to be the long-distance regulator of flowering.

Regulation and Identity of Florigen: FLOWERING LOCUS T Moves Center Stage [PDF]

Annual Review of Plant Biology, 2008
The transition from vegetative to reproductive growth is controlled by day length in many plant species. Day length is perceived in leaves and induces a systemic signal, called florigen, that moves through the phloem to the shoot apex. At the shoot apical meristem (SAM), florigen causes changes in gene expression that reprogram the SAM to form flowers ...

Precocious flowering in trees: the FLOWERING LOCUS T gene as a research and breeding tool in Populus [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2010
Expression of FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) and its homologues has been shown to accelerate the onset of flowering in a number of plant species, including poplar (Populus spp.). The application of FT should be of particular use in forest trees, as it could greatly accelerate and enable new kinds of breeding and research.

In the light of evolution: a reevaluation of conservation in the CO-FT regulon and its role in photoperiodic regulation of flowering time

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2011
In order to maximize reproductive success, plants have evolved different strategies to control the critical developmental shift marked by the transition to flowering. As plants have adapted to diverse environments across the globe, these strategies have

Evolution and Expression of Reproductive Transition Regulatory Genes FT/TFL1 With Emphasis in Selected Neotropical Orchids

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Flowering is a rigorously timed and morphologically complex shift in plant development. This change depends on endogenous as well as environmental factors.

Genome-wide characterization of PEBP gene family in Perilla frutescens and PfFT1 promotes flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Phosphatidylethanolamine-binding proteins (PEBP) family plays important roles in regulating plant flowering time and morphogenesis. However, geneme-wide identification and functional analysis of PEBP genes in the rigorous short-day plant Perilla ...

High-Resolution Crystal Structure of Arabidopsis FLOWERING LOCUS T Illuminates Its Phospholipid-Binding Site in Flowering

iScience, 2019
Summary: Arabidopsis FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) is a pivotal component of florigen, a long-range mobile flowering signal. Here, we determined the 1.0 Å-resolution crystal structure of FT, a significantly higher-resolution crystal structure of FT than ...

A recessive allele for delayed flowering at the soybean maturity locus E9 is a leaky allele of FT2a, a FLOWERING LOCUS T ortholog [PDF]

BMC Plant Biology, 2016
Understanding the molecular mechanisms of flowering and maturity is important for improving the adaptability and yield of seed crops in different environments. In soybean, a facultative short-day plant, genetic variation at four maturity genes, E1 to E4, plays an important role in adaptation to environments with different photoperiods.

FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) CONTROLS FLOWER DEVELOPMENT IN PLANTS

, 2019
Flower development is a crucial trait of higher-plant and is controlled by the action of central genetic regulator, FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) ; one of the most crucial promoters of the floral transition that encodes the phloem-mobile florigen protein which is an essential plants flowering signal.

Research progress on delayed flowering under short-day condition in Arabidopsis thaliana

Frontiers in Plant Science
Flowering represents a pivotal phase in the reproductive and survival processes of plants, with the photoperiod serving as a pivotal regulator of plant-flowering timing.
