Protein function

Encodes a transcription factor of the phosphatidylethanolamine-binding protein (PEBP) family which is sufficient to induce flowering.

Phenotype

Remarks:
FT is expressed in phloem companion cells and its protein moves to the shoot apical meristem through the phloem. [Corbesier et al., 2007]

Overexpressor:
FT overexpressor is early flowering under both SD and LD conditions. [Kobayashi et al., 1999][Kardailsky et al., 1999]

Single mutant:
ft single mutant is late flowering under both SD and LD conditions. ( The late flowering-time phenotype of the ft single mutant is much stronger under LD than SD conditions.) [Koornneef et al., 1991][Yamaguchi et al., 2005][Kobayashi et al., 1999]

Multiple mutant:
ft;tsf double mutant flowers later under LD conditions than either single mutants. (The mutation of FT has a stronger effect on flowering time than tsf mutation.) [Michaels et al., 2005][Jang et al., 2009][Yamaguchi et al., 2005]

Function:
Probable component of the mobile flower-promoting signal (floral stimulus or florigen). Promotes the transition from vegetative growth to flowering. Required for SEPALLATA3 (SEP3) and FRUITFULL (FUL) accumulation in mature rosette leaves. Seems to acts in parallel with LEAFY to induce flowering by regulating APETALA1 . May play a role in both the autonomous and the long-day flowering pathways. [Data from UniProt]
