Using a genetic strategy, we showed that the previously uncharacterized K-homology (KH) domain protein FLOWERING LOCUS Y (FLY) modulates flowering time. Thefly-1knockout mutant andFLYartificial microRNA knockdown line flowered earlier than the wild type under long- and short-day conditions. The ...
which is under the control of the circadian clock [4]. During long days, CO protein accumulates to high enough levels to promote floral transition, and as a result, up-regulates the expression ofFT(FLOWERING LOCUS T) to initiate flowering [4],[5]. Both the vernalization...
studies have demonstrated that genes associated with flowering time and plant growth are linked to the success of invasive species [2,9]. These findings suggest that the ability to adapt to different environments through genetic variation in key developmental processes, such as flowering time, can p...

Two important genes downstream of these flowering pathways are FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) and TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1). FT and TFL1 encode a pair of flowering regulators with homology to phosphatidylethanolamine-binding proteins (PEBPs), which function in diverse signaling pathways involved in growth...

After comparing the promoter region ofFT1-like genes among the Sapindaceae species and differentFT1loci in rambutan, we determined that someFT1-like genes may have been subfunctionalized by the evolution of their promoter sequences. Then, we examined whether the change in a single locus of the ...
Characteristics of the homology search for litchi unigenes. (A) Venn diagram of the number of unigenes annotated using BLASTx with a cut-off E-value 1e−05 against protein databases. Numbers in the circles indicate the number of unigenes annotated by single or multiple databases. (B) Numb...
The transition from vegetative to floral state or reproductive development is a critical phase in the life cycle of higher plants, and the products of flowering are an integral part of the human diet, cultural integrity and global economies. Cut flowers
domain protein with H3K27me2/me3 de-methylase activity, results in increasedFTexpression and early flowering [48]. Different from the marks on most target genes inA. thaliana, H3K27me3 at theFTlocus is not restricted to the gene body but spreads into the promoter and downstream regions [...
