1. role of FT in flowering PMID: 28965831
2. FT in Arabidopsis thaliana is produced in two unique files of phloem companion cells. PMID: 29483267
3. FT expression during night time temperatures and flowering PMID: 26856528
4. Variation in shade-induced flowering in Arabidopsis thaliana results from FLOWERING LOCUS T allelic variation. PMID: 29117199
5. Study conclude that thermoperiodic control of floral transition is associated with modulation of the diurnal expression patterns of FT, with timing of temperature alteration being important rather than average daily temperature. PMID: 28028164
6. Results demonstrated that meristematic FT overexpression generates a phenotype with an early flowering independent of photoperiod when compared with wild type (WT) plants. PMID: 27154816
7. AtFT-induced flowers were morphologically normal and produced viable pollen grains and viable self- and cross-pollinated seeds. PMID: 26132805
8. Post-translational mechanisms might control FT protein abundance. PMID: 26548373
9. The temporal pattern of FT expression encodes information that discriminates long days from other inputs. Accelerated flowering requires high FT expression over several days. PMID: 26212862
10. FE protein promotes flowering through transcriptional activation of FT and Ftip1. PMID: 26239308
11. Induced and natural variation of promoter length modulates the photoperiodic response of FT protein. PMID: 25087553
12. Specific mutations in at least four different residues are sufficient to convert FT into a complete TFL1 mimic, even when expressed from TFL1 regulatory sequences. PMID: 24532592
13. FT binds to diurnally oscillating phospholipids that accelerate flowering. PMID: 24698997
14. SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS 1 (SOC1) and FT regulate the SPL3, SPL4 and SPL5 genes by directly binding to the gene promoters in response to photoperiod signals. PMID: 21988498
15. These results emphasize the expanding role of FT in affecting general determinate growth. PMID: 23333977
16. FT protein enters the phloem translocation stream and subsequently exits the phloem and enters the apical tissue, where it initiates the vegetative to floral transition. PMID: 23607279
17. the cotyledon is an important organ for producing FT protein to induce flowering PMID: 23204014
18. PHYTOCHROME AND FLOWERING TIME1 (PFT1), MED25, is degraded by the proteasome and proteasome-mediated PFT1 turnover is coupled to its role in stimulating the transcription of FLOWERING LOCUS T. PMID: 22992513
19. Both FT RNA and protein move long distance and act redundantly to integrate the photoperiodic signals. PMID: 22614833
20. FT acts downstream of miR156 and SPL3. PMID: 22427344
21. FLOWERING LOCUS T PMID: 22442143
22. Loss of polycomb group protein repression causes down-regulation of FT. Chromatin changes are not key factors in determining FT spatial expression. PMID: 21917549
23. GI can bind to three FT repressors: SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE (SVP), TEMPRANILLO (TEM)1, and TEM2. PMID: 21709243
24. temporal separation of reproductive onset and vegetative growth into different seasons via FT1 and FT2 provides seasonality and demonstrates the evolution of a complex perennial adaptive trait after genome duplication PMID: 21653885
25. Data show induction of rapid flowering in apple seedlings at 1.5-2 months by using the Apple latent spherical virus (ALSV) vector expressing a FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) gene from Arabidopsis thaliana. PMID: 21132560
26. Distant regulatory regions are required for FT transcription, reflecting the complexity of its control and differences in chromatin status delimit functionally important cis-regulatory regions. PMID: 20472817
27. Results indicate that allelic variation at pathway integrator genes such as FT can underlie phenotypic variability and that this may be achieved through cis-regulatory changes. PMID: 19652183
28. Reduction of FT mRNA in COL9 overexpressing lines of A. thaliana delays flowering. PMID: 16115071
29. We propose that FT functions through partner-dependent transcriptional activation and that this occurs at several sites. Organ fate may depend on both degree of activation and the developmental stage reached by the organ before activation occurs. PMID: 16155177
30. NTL8 mediates salt-responsive flowering via FT in Arabidopsis. PMID: 17410378
31. it is concluded that that FT protein acts as a long-distance signal that induces Arabidopsis flowering PMID: 17446353
32. To our knowledge, FT is the only known protein that serves as a long-range developmental signal in plants. PMID: 17540569
33. We demonstrate that export of FT protein from phloem companion cells is sufficient to induce flowering. PMID: 17540570
34. acts redundantly with TSF and SOC1 to promote flowering in response to CONSTANS and far red enriched light PMID: 18667727
35. TEMPRANILLO genes (TEM1 and TEM2) act as novel direct FT repressors. PMID: 18718758
36. Photoresponses are important for up-regulation of FT and for flowering. PMID: 18836142
37. FLOWERING LOCUS T protein activity is transmissible through a graft junction and can promote flowering from a distance. PMID: 18849573
38. FT and gibberellin act both independently and interactively in LD floral signalling. PMID: 18931352
39. identification & characterization of CIB1 (At4g34530) protein; CIB1 stimulates FT messenger RNA expression, and it interacts with chromatin DNA of the FT gene that possesses various E-box elements except G box PMID: 18988809
