• Regulation of flowering time: all roads lead to Rome (2011, background): “In addition, 35S::SFT was able to induce flowering in the SD flowering Maryland Mammoth tobacco plants under LD conditions [82, 83], which indicated that SFT could act as a flower-promoting factor in a different species.”
• 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).”
• Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, neutral): “Indeed, the discovery that an FT orthologue in tomato, SFT (SINGLE FLOWER TRUSS), promotes flowering in day-neutral tomato and tobacco plants points to the universality of FT proteins as leaf-derived, phloem-mobile florigens whose functions are not dependent exclusively on photoperiod input (Lifschi”
• Engineering Quantitative Trait Variation for Crop Improvement by Genome Editing. (2017, background): “SP encodes a flowering repressor in the florigen gene family that counterbalances the flowering hormone florigen (encoded by SINGLE FLOWER TRUSS, SFT) to ensure continuous shoot and inflorescence production through ‘‘indeterminate’’ growth (Lifschitz et al., 2006, 2014; Pnueli et al., 1998).”
