• Sugars, the clock and transition to flowering (2013, background): “The induction of flowering through the transport of phloemmobile signals (FT and GA) to the apex is well-documented (Corbesier et al., 2007; Tamaki et al., 2007; Turnbull, 2011; Matsoukas et al., 2012; Yu et al., 2012).”
• The tomato genome sequence provides insights into fleshy fruit evolution (2012, positive): “A striking example is the SELF PRUNING (SP) gene family, which includes the homolog of Arabidopsis FT, encoding the mobile flowering hormone florigen 20 and its antagonist SP, encoding the ortholog of TFL1.”
• FT protein acts as a long-range signal in Arabidopsis. (2007, result): “Additionally, in a study in Brassica napus, a close relative to Arabidopsis thaliana, FT protein could be identified among other potential signaling proteins by analysis of the soluble fraction of the sieve-tube exudates of FT mRNA is specifically localized to the SUC2 promoter expression domain.”
• Regulation of flowering time: all roads lead to Rome (2011, background): “[65] demonstrated by fluorescence microscopy that a GFP:FT fusion protein was exported from the vasculature to the base of the meristem.”
• Molecular mechanisms of polyploidy and hybrid vigor (2010, background): “The flowering time is controlled by a few loci in inbreeding Arabidopsis and rice [55-58].”
• Natural variation in Ghd7 is an important regulator of heading date and yield potential in rice (2008, background): “One of the downstream targets of CO is a protein encoded by the flowering locus T ( FT ), which, together with a bZIP protein FD, controls flowering time by integrating input from various pathway”
• The central role of the VERNALIZATION1 gene in the vernalization response of cereals (2010, background): “thaliana, FT interacts with a ‘basic leucine zipper’ transcription factor, FD, to activate target genes that include MADS box transcription factors that are related to VRN1; FRUITFUL and APETALLA1 (Abe et al. 2005; Teper-Bamnolker and Samach 2005; Wigge et al. 2005; Corbesier et al. 2007).”
• Seasonal and developmental timing of flowering. (2010, background): “A direct demonstration that FT does in fact move from young leaves to the SAM was demonstrated with FT:GFP and FT:MYC fusion proteins in Arabidopsis , and in rice using an FT ortholog:GFP fusion (Corbesier et al., 2007; Jaeger and Wigge, 2007; Tamaki et al., 2007).”
