The receptor-like kinase FEROINA (FER) plays a crucial role in controlling plant vegetative growth partially by sensing the rapid alkalinization factor (RALF) peptide. However, the role of RALF1-FER in the vegetative-reproductive growth transition remains unknown. Here, we analyze the mechanism t...
Plant Materials and Growth Conditions Arabidopsis ecotype Columbia (Col), Landsberg erecta (Ler), or C24 was grown at 22°C under long days (16 hr light/8 hr dark) or short days (8 hr light/16 hr dark). The mutants co-1, gi-1, ft-1 (Ler ft-1 introgressed into Col), fve-3,...
To examine the localization of the RCN1 protein in the plant, we constructed an expression vector with GREEN FLUORESCENT PROTEIN (GFP) as the reporter gene, by fusing the RCN1-coding region with the GFP-coding region (RCN1-GFP), and used the same promoter as that in the GUS analysis. ...
among plant species, recent research has revealed cases where FT homologs have evolved to inhibit flowering (Blackman et al.2010; Pin et al.2010; Harig et al.2012; Lee et al.2013; Nan et al.2014; Zhai et al.2014). The presence of four FT homologs has been identified in the Sunflowe...
