FLOWERING PATHWAYS. “Figure 1. Schematic diagram of the genetic pathways that regulate flowering time in Arabidopsis.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168952510001873 View in LinkedIn

FLORAL MERISTEM IDENTITY GENES. “We will describe the central role that AP1 plays in the transition from floral induction to flower formation by acting as a switch between these two developmental programs and constituting a hub in the corresponding network of regulatory genes.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168952510001873 View in LinkedIn

GENERATIVE NODES. “Floral meristem identity genes code for transcription factors that are conserved across plant species and include Arabidopsis APETALA1 (AP1) (and paralogs) and LEAFY (LFY).” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168952510001873 View in LinkedIn

FLOWERING TIME PATHWAYS. “Ultimately, all of these pathways converge on so-called floral meristem identity genes, which act by directing the meristems (or primordia) that form on the flanks of the inflorescence meristem to develop into flowers.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168952510001873 View in LinkedIn

WELL STUDIED. “A large number of genes have been characterized as flowering time regulators, and several recent reviews have provided detailed descriptions of flowering time pathways (see Figure 1).” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168952510001873 View in LinkedIn

FLORAL NETWORK. “Thus, all these regulators of the floral transition form a small network with multiple interactions among themselves (and, undoubtedly, additional interactions still remain to be discovered), which is ultimately resolved in the upregulation of floral meristem identity genes.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168952510001873 View in LinkedIn

PATH TO THE NEXT GENERATION. “The responses to various external and internal conditions are integrated by a complex gene regulatory network that controls this transition. Consequently, the regulation of flowering time has been a major adaptive trait during plant evolution and domestication.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168952510001873 View in LinkedIn

COMBINED CUES. “In summary, the expression of both floral promoters (FT and SOC1) and floral repressors (FLC and SVP) is regulated by several flowering time pathways, thereby responding to multiple external or endogenous cues in each case.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168952510001873 View in LinkedIn

DOWNSTREAM EFFECT. “Thus, the vernalization-dependent downregulation of FLC enables Arabidopsis to flower by producing a systemic signal in the leaf (FT) and by conferring competence to the meristem to respond to it.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168952510001873 View in LinkedIn
