Journal ArticleDOI
FD, a bZIP Protein Mediating Signals from the Floral Pathway Integrator FT at the Shoot Apex
Mitsutomo Abe,Yasushi Kobayashi,Sumiko Yamamoto,Yasufumi Daimon,Ayako Yamaguchi,Yoko Ikeda,Harutaka Ichinoki,Michitaka Notaguchi,Koji Goto,Takashi Araki,Takashi Araki +10 more
TL;DR: FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) is a conserved promoter of flowering that acts downstream of various regulatory pathways, including one that mediates photoperiodic induction through CONSTANS (CO), and is expressed in the vasculature of cotyledons and leaves.
Journal ArticleDOI
A pair of related genes with antagonistic roles in mediating flowering signals.
TL;DR: Flowering in Arabidopsis is promoted via several interacting pathways and FT acts in part downstream of CO and mediates signals for flowering in an antagonistic manner with its homologous gene, TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1).
Journal ArticleDOI
Hd3a, a rice ortholog of the Arabidopsis FT gene, promotes transition to flowering downstream of Hd1 under short-day conditions.
Shoko Kojima,Yuji Takahashi,Yasushi Kobayashi,Lisa Monna,Takuji Sasaki,Takashi Araki,Masahiro Yano +6 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that Hd 3a encodes a protein closely related to Arabidopsis FT and that the function and regulatory relationship with Hd1 and CO, respectively, of Hd3a and FT are conserved between rice (an SD plant) andArabidopsis (a long-day plant).
Journal ArticleDOI
TWIN SISTER OF FT (TSF) acts as a floral pathway integrator redundantly with FT.
TL;DR: This work proposes that the phloem is the site where multiple regulatory pathways are integrated at the transcriptional regulation of FT and TSF and reveals additional complexity and spatial aspects of the regulatory network at the pathway integration level.
Journal ArticleDOI
Move on up, it’s time for change—mobile signals controlling photoperiod-dependent flowering
Yasushi Kobayashi,Detlef Weigel +1 more
TL;DR: Primarily through genetic analyses in two species, Arabidopsis thaliana and rice, the essentials of two central issues in plant biology are understood: how the appropriate photoperiod generates an inductive stimulus based on an external coincidence mechanism, and the nature of the mobile flowering signal, florigen.
