Protein FLOWERING LOCUS T

UniProtKB accession:  Q9SXZ2

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  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'. Translated in leaves and then transported to the shoot apical meristem where it activates the transcription of several floral meristem identity genes. May play a role in both the autonomous and the long-day flowering pathways.
