Cytokinins are involved in many aspects of plant growth and development, and physiological evidence also indicates that they have a role in floral transition. In order to integrate these phytohormones into the current knowledge of genetically defined molecular pathways to flowering, we performed exogenous treatments of adult wild type and mutant Arabidopsis plants, and analysed the expression of candidate genes. We used a hydroponic system that enables synchronous growth and flowering of…

Involvement of cytokinin response regulator RhRR1 in the control of flowering
TLDR
Cloned and characterized a type-A response regulator gene (RhRR1) in rose and infer that RhRR1 plays a key role in the control of flowering, which is critical for ensuring reproductive success in the plant life cycle.
The multifaceted roles of FLOWERING LOCUS T in plant development.
TLDR
The plethora of roles that FT-like genes have acquired during evolution are assessed and their implications in plant diversity, adaptation and domestication are assessed.
Flowering and trichome development share hormonal and transcription factor regulation.
TLDR
It is proposed that the spatio-temporal regulation and integration of diverse signals control different developmental processes, such as floral induction and trichome formation, which are intimately connected through similar genetic pathways.
The floral repressor BROTHER OF FT AND TFL1 (BFT) modulates flowering initiation under high salinity in Arabidopsis
TLDR
It is suggested that the Arabidopsis BROTHER of FT and TFL1 (BFT) gene mediates salt stress-responsive flowering, providing an adaptive strategy that ensures reproductive success under unfavorable stress conditions.
The florigen genes FT and TSF modulate lateral shoot outgrowth in Arabidopsis thaliana.
TLDR
It is proposed that the two florigen genes are an important key to linking the floral transition and lateral shoot development to maximize the reproductive success of a plant.
Elevated Levels of MYB30 in the Phloem Accelerate Flowering in Arabidopsis through the Regulation of FLOWERING LOCUS T
TLDR
Increased levels of MYB30, which was reported to be induced in response to the perception of pathogens, can accelerate flowering and MyB30 may be a candidate to mediate cross-talk between gene networks involved in biotic stress perception and flowering time.
Gibberellins Act Downstream of Arabis PERPETUAL FLOWERING1 to Accelerate Floral Induction during Vernalization1[OPEN]
TLDR
It is shown that the pep1 mutant exhibits an elongated-stem phenotype, similar to that caused by treatment with exogenous GA, consistent with PEP1 repressing GA responses, and the down-regulation of PEP2 likely increases GA sensitivity, and GA responses contribute to determining the length of vernalization required for flowering and reproduction.
FT genes and regulation of flowering in the legume Medicago truncatula.
TLDR
Recent efforts to uncover flowering-time regulators using candidate gene approaches or forward screens for spring early flowering mutants in the legume Medicago truncatula are discussed, highlighting the importance of a Medicago FT gene, FTa1, in flowering- time control.
Comparative Transcriptomic Analysis of Vernalization- and Cytokinin-Induced Floral Transition in Dendrobium nobile
TLDR
A cytokinin-GA signal network underlying vernalization is revealed, providing a novel insight into further investigation of the molecular mechanism of floral initiation in Dendrobium.

A MADS domain gene involved in the transition to flowering in Arabidopsis.
TLDR
By transposon tagging, late flowering agl20 mutants are identified and it is shown that AGL20 is involved in flowering time control and integrates signals of different pathways of floral induction and might be a central component for the induction of flowering.
CONSTANS acts in the phloem to regulate a systemic signal that induces photoperiodic flowering of Arabidopsis
TLDR
It is proposed that, partly through the activation of FT, CO regulates the synthesis or transport of a systemic flowering signal, thereby positioning this signal within the established hierarchy of regulatory proteins that controls flowering.
Genetic and spatial interactions between FT, TSF and SVP during the early stages of floral induction in Arabidopsis.
TLDR
It is shown that FT and the closely related TSF are not essential for flowering, but that the double mutant is photoperiod-insensitive, and that TSF and FT have similar biochemical functions by showing that they interact in yeast with the same bZIP transcription factors.
The Flowering Integrator FT Regulates SEPALLATA3 and FRUITFULL Accumulation in Arabidopsis Leavesw⃞
TLDR
It is proposed that FT functions through partner-dependent transcriptional activation of these and as-yet-unknown genes and that this occurs at several sites and that organ fate may depend on both degree of activation and the developmental stage reached by the organ before activation occurs.
Export of FT Protein from Phloem Companion Cells Is Sufficient for Floral Induction in Arabidopsis
Gibberellins Promote Flowering of Arabidopsis by Activating the LEAFY Promoter
TLDR
It is found that the failure of gibberellin-deficient ga1-3 mutants to flower in short days was paralleled by the absence of LEAFY promoter induction, and a causal connection between these two events was confirmed by the ability of a constitutively expressed LEAFy transgene to restore flowering to ga1 -3 mutants in shortDays.

TLDR
This review focuses on experimental evidence in the Arabidopsis that both classical and newly described phytohormones serve within the signal network leading to a reproductive phase transition, as both positive and repressive elements, depending on the phythormone and growth conditions.
Distinct roles of CONSTANS target genes in reproductive development of Arabidopsis.
TLDR
Four early target genes of CO were identified using a steroid-inducible version of the protein to define common components of distinct flowering-time pathways.
Direct interaction of AGL24 and SOC1 integrates flowering signals in Arabidopsis
TLDR
It is found that as in other flowering genetic pathways, the effect of gibberellins on flowering under short-day conditions was mediated by the interaction between AGL24 and SOC1, a floral pathway integrator.
GA4 Is the Active Gibberellin in the Regulation of LEAFY Transcription and Arabidopsis Floral Initiation[W]
TLDR
The results demonstrate that in the dicot Arabidopsis, in contrast with the monocot Lolium temulentum, GA4 is the active GA in the regulation of both shoot elongation and flower initiation.
