Regulation of flowering in the long-day grass Lolium temulentum by gibberellins and the FLOWERING LOCUS T gene.
Seasonal control of flowering often involves leaf sensing of daylength coupled to time measurement and generation and transport of florigenic signals to the shoot apex. We show that transmitted signals in the grass Lolium temulentum may include gibberellins (GAs) and the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) gene. Within 2 h of starting a florally inductive long day (LD), expression of a 20-oxidase GA biosynt...
متن کاملLong-day induction of flowering in Lolium temulentum involves sequential increases in specific gibberellins at the shoot apex.
One challenge for plant biology has been to identify floral stimuli at the shoot apex. Using sensitive and specific gas chromatography-mass spectrometry techniques, we have followed changes in gibberellins (GAs) at the shoot apex during long day (LD)-regulated induction of flowering in the grass Lolium temulentum. Two separate roles of GAs in flowering are indicated. First, within 8 h of an ind...
متن کاملGibberellins, Endogenous and Applied, in Relation to Flower Induction in the Long-Day Plant Lolium temulentum.
Changes in endogenous gibberellin-like substances (GAs) and related compounds in the shoot apices of Lolium temulentum during and after flower induction by one long day was examined for plants grown in three consecutive years. The total GA level in the shoot apical tissue was high (up to 42 micrograms per gram dry weight, or 3 x 10(-5) molar GA(3) equivalents), increasing several-fold on the da...
متن کاملDissecting cis-regulation of FLOWERING LOCUS T.
Flowering in many plants is strongly influenced by daylength. Arabidopsis thaliana FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) encodes a small peptide that is now widely recognized as a major component of florigen, a systemic signal that induces flowering in response to daylength (Turck et al., 2008). FT is expressed in phloem companion cells, and the protein is translocated through the phloem to the shoot apical m...
متن کاملFlowering retardation by high temperature in chrysanthemums: involvement of FLOWERING LOCUS T-like 3 gene repression
Flowering time of the short-day plant Chrysanthemum morifolium is largely dependent upon daylength, but it is also distinctly influenced by other environmental factors. Flowering is delayed by summer heat. Here, the underlying basis for this phenomenon was investigated. Heat-induced flowering retardation occurred similarly in C. morifolium and C. seticuspe, a wild-type diploid chrysanthemum. In...
