FTIP1 is an essential regulator required for florigen transport. [PDF]

PLoS Biology, 2012
The capacity to respond to day length, photoperiodism, is crucial for flowering plants to adapt to seasonal change. The photoperiodic control of flowering in plants is mediated by a long-distance mobile floral stimulus called florigen that moves from ...

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

AKR2A is involved in the flowering process of Arabidopsis thaliana

Plant Signaling & Behavior, 2022
Flowering at an appropriate time is crucial for plant development and reproduction. In Arabidopsis, the flowering process is managed by a regulatory network composed of at least 6 independent pathways. As a core protein in flowering regulation, FLOWERING

Brahma is required for proper expression of the floral repressor FLC in Arabidopsis. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
BRAHMA (BRM) is a member of a family of ATPases of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes from Arabidopsis. BRM has been previously shown to be crucial for vegetative and reproductive development.Here we carry out a detailed analysis of the flowering

Expression profiles of five FT-like genes and functional analysis of PhFT-1 in a Phalaenopsis hybrid

Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2018
Background: Phalaenopsis is an important ornamental flowering plant that belongs to the Orchidaceae family and is cultivated worldwide. Phalaenopsis has a long juvenile phase; therefore, it is important to understand the genetic elements regulating the ...

The Candidate Photoperiod Gene MtFE Promotes Growth and Flowering in Medicago truncatula

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Flowering time influences the yield and productivity of legume crops. Medicago truncatula is a reference temperate legume that, like the winter annual Arabidopsis thaliana, shows accelerated flowering in response to vernalization (extended cold) and long-

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 ...

Molecular Cloning and Functional Analysis of Three FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) Homologous Genes from Chinese Cymbidium [PDF]

International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2012
The FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) gene plays crucial roles in regulating the transition from the vegetative to reproductive phase. To understand the molecular mechanism of reproduction, three homologous FT genes were isolated and characterized from Cymbidium sinense “Qi Jian Bai Mo”, Cymbidium goeringii and Cymbidium ensifolium “Jin Si Ma Wei”.

Mobile Flowering Locus T RNA – Biological Relevance and Biotechnological Potential

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022
Many systemically mobile mRNAs have been revealed in phloem. However, very few of them have been found to be of clear signaling functions. One of such rare examples is the mobile Flowering locus T (FT) mRNA despite the continuous debate about its ...

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.
