Abstract excerpt
Many plants measure changes in day length to synchronize their flowering time with appropriate seasons for maximum reproductive success. In Arabidopsis, the day-length-dependent regulation of Constans (CO) protein stability is crucial to induce flowering locus T (FT) expression for flowering in long days. The flavin-binding, KELCH repeat, F-box1 (FKF1) protein binds to CO protein specifically in the long-day...
