Abstract excerpt
Arabidopsis florigen activation complex (FAC), formed by the interaction of the transcription factor FD and the florigen protein FT, activates gene expression in the shoot apical meristem to induce flowering. We show that FD and its paralog FDP are also expressed in partially overlapping patterns in the floral meristem and floral organs, and that FT is present in floral meristems. The flowers of mutants for FT...
