High-density linkage to physical mapping in a unique Tall × Dwarf coconut (Cocos nucifera L.) outbred F2 uncovers a major QTL for flowering time colocalized with the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
IntroductionThe coconut tree crop (Cocos nucifera L.) provides vital resources for millions of people worldwide. Coconut germplasm is largely classified into ‘Tall’ (Typica) and ‘Dwarf’ (Nana) types.

FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) gene regulates short-day flowering in low latitude Xishuangbanna cucumber (Cucumis sativus var. xishuangbannanesis)

Vegetable Research, 2023
Xishuangbanna (XIS) cucumber is a semi-wild cucumber originating from a low latitude. XIS cucumbers are strictly short-day plants, while cultivated cucumbers are day-neutral plants.

SiFTL and SiHd3a are positive regulators of flowering time in sesame (Sesamum indicum L.) [PDF]

Frontiers in Plant Science
Flowering time, a critical trait for crop adaptation, is regulated by plants’ ability to sense light signals, which influences gene expression and the transition from vegetative to reproductive growth.

Repression of flowering by the miR172 target SMZ. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2009
A small mobile protein, encoded by the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) locus, plays a central role in the control of flowering. FT is regulated positively by CONSTANS (CO), the output of the photoperiod pathway, and negatively by FLC, which integrates the effects

Repression of FLOWERING LOCUS T chromatin by functionally redundant histone H3 lysine 4 demethylases in Arabidopsis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2009
FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) plays a key role as a mobile floral induction signal that initiates the floral transition. Therefore, precise control of FT expression is critical for the reproductive success of flowering plants. Coexistence of bivalent histone H3

The FLOWERING LOCUS T LIKE 2-1 gene of Chenopodium triggers precocious flowering in Arabidopsis seedlings

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2023
The FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) gene is the essential integrator of flowering regulatory pathways in angiosperms. The paralogs of the FT gene may perform antagonistic functions, as exemplified by BvFT1, that suppresses flowering in Beta vulgaris, unlike the ...

Adaptation and integration of environmental cues to internal flowering network in Arabidopsis thaliana

Reproduction and Breeding, 2022
Transition to flowering is timed by environmental cues in plants, which makes plants flower at a favorable time for seed setting. Seasonal cues like cold exposure and day length and environmental abiotic stresses have been found to affect floral ...

Inter-species functional compatibility of the Theobroma cacao and Arabidopsis FT orthologs: 90 million years of functional conservation of meristem identity genes

BMC 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 ...

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

Frontiers 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.

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.
