Abstract

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. A bZIP transcription factor, FD, preferentiall...
