Terminal flower2, an Arabidopsis homolog of heterochromatin protein1, counteracts the activation of flowering locus T by constans in the vascular tissues of leaves to regulate flowering time.

cis-Regulatory Elements and Chromatin State Coordinately Control Temporal and Spatial Expression of FLOWERING LOCUS T in Arabidopsis W OA

Flowering time of summer annual Arabidopsis thaliana accessions is largely determined by the timing of FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) expression in the leaf vasculature. To understand the complex interplay between activating and repressive inputs controlling flowering through FT, cis-regulatory sequences of FT were identified in this study. A proximal and an ;5-kb upstream promoter region containing hi...

Dissecting 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...

To understand the complex interplay between activating and repressive inputs controlling flowering through FT, cis-regulatory sequences of FT were identified in this study.

TERMINAL FLOWER2, the Arabidopsis HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN1 Homolog, and its Involvement in Plant Development

Spatial control of flowering by DELLA proteins in Arabidopsis thaliana.

The transition from vegetative to reproductive development is a central event in the plant life cycle. To time the induction of flowering correctly, plants integrate environmental and endogenous signals such as photoperiod, temperature and hormonal status. The hormone gibberellic acid (GA) has long been known to regulate flowering. However, the spatial contribution of GA signaling in flowering ...
