Abstract excerpt
Source-sink interactions play a critical but mechanistically underexplored role in coordinating reproductive output and longevity in plants. Here, we investigated the role of FT1, the barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) homolog of the florigen FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), in regulating source (leaf) and sink (inflorescence) development and metabolism. Using ft1 knockout mutants in the spring barley cultivar Golden Promise,...
