• FT protein acts as a long-range signal in Arabidopsis. (2007, result): “Our results are also consistent with complementary studies involving grafting experiments and a FT-related protein in tomato [21] as well as similar recent studies in rice and Arabidopsis ([22, 23]; see also [24], this issue of Current Biology).”
• A Quantitative and Dynamic Model of the Arabidopsis Flowering Time Gene Regulatory Network (2015, background): “FLC and SVP are also expressed in the SAM, where they repress the expression of SOC1 [34–36].”
• Regulation and identity of florigen: FLOWERING LOCUS T moves center stage. (2008, methodology): “Expression of the viral peptidase from the SUC2 promoter released free FT protein, which induced earlier flowering of wild-type plants (59).”
• miR156-regulated SPL transcription factors define an endogenous flowering pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana. (2009, positive): “Similarly, abrogating SPL expression in the FD domain through pFD:MIR156 further considerably increased the leaf number of p35S:amiR-FT/TSF plants (Mathieu et al., 2007), which mimic the phenotype of ft tsf double mutants (Table 2; Mathieu et al.”
• Regulation of flowering time: all roads lead to Rome (2011, background): “As the FT-3xYFP protein was shown to promote flowering when expressed from a constitutive promoter [71], this also suggested that FT functions by direct movement rather than a relay mechanism.”
• Gene silencing in plants using artificial microRNAs and other small RNAs. (2008, result): “The limited number of published studies suggest an overall success rate of possibly up to 90% (Alvarez et al., 2006; Choi et al., 2007; Mathieu et al., 2007; Niu et al., 2006; Qu et al., 2007; Schwab et al., 2006), while anecdotal evidence from unpublished studies in our and other laboratories…”
• Hd3a and RFT1 are essential for flowering in rice (2008, background): “Recent studies suggest that FT/Hd3a represents a florigen-type mobile flowering signal (Tamaki et al., 2007; Corbesier et al., 2007; Jaeger and Wigge, 2007; Mathieu et al., 2007; Lin et al., 2007).”
