MicroRNA399 is a long-distance signal for the regulation of plant phosphate homeostasis (2008, background): “…signaling in plants is known to be important for the regulation of several processes including leaf development, flowering, pathogen defense and resource allocation (Jaeger and Wigge, 2007; Khamis et al., 1990; Palauqui et al., 1997; Voinnet et al., 1998; for review, see Lough and Lucas, 2006).”
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).”
Regulation and identity of florigen: FLOWERING LOCUS T moves center stage. (2008, methodology): “Protein movement was further detected using FT:MYC fusion protein also expressed under the control of the phloem-specific SUC2 promoter (39).”
Regulation of flowering time: all roads lead to Rome (2011, background): “Similarly, Jäger and Wigge [72] could show that trapping FT protein in the phloem companion cells by”
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).”
