Abstract

Flowering in Arabidopsis is promoted via several interacting pathways. A photoperiod-dependent pathway relays signals from photoreceptors to a transcription factor gene, CONSTANS ( CO ), which activates downstream meristem identity genes such as LEAFY ( LFY ). FT , together with LFY , promotes flowering and is positively regulated by CO . Loss of FT causes delay in flowering, whereas overexpression of FT results in precocious flowering independent of CO or photoperiod. FT acts in part downstream of CO and mediates signals for flowering in an antagonistic manner with its homologous gene, TERMINAL FLOWER1 ( TFL1 ).

4. A T-DNA insertion line (vTAAT26C51) with a 75.8-kb deletion in the FT-FAS1 region was identified. The bacterial artificial chromosome (BAC) clone F5I14 (GenBank accession number ) was found to cover the deleted region. One candidate gene ( F5I14.3 ) with similarity to TFL1 (4) was examined in six ft alleles including three new ones ( ft-4 ft-5 and ft-6 from ecotype Nossen) [this study and (16)] and a nucleotide substitution was found in all cases. The entire F5I14.3 was deleted in vTAAT26C51. On the basis of these results we concluded that F5I14.3 is the FT gene. Sequences of cDNA were deposited in GenBank (accession numbers and ).
