Abstract excerpt
Gentians are herbaceous perennials blooming in summer through autumn. Although they are popular ornamental flowers in Japan, the regulation of their timing of flowering has not been studied. We identified and characterized gentian orthologs of the Arabidopsis FT/TFL1 gene family to elucidate the mechanisms of flowering initiation. We isolated three gentian orthologs of FT and TFL1, denoted GtFT1, GtFT2 and...
