Gene Details:

• Gene ID:
• Gene Symbol: LcFT1
• Gene Name: FLOWERING LOCUS T 1
• Genome:
• Species: Litchi chinensis

Functional Descriptions:

• Promoter difference of LcFT1 is a leading cause of natural variation of flowering timing in different litchi cultivars.
• LcFT1 plays a pivotal role in litchi floral induction by low-temperature.
• Litchi flowering was induced by low temperature and that a FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) homologue gene named LcFT1 played a pivotal role in this process.
• The homozygous easy-flowering type of the LcFT1 genotype and heterozygous LcFT1 genotype of the litchi germplasm resources completed their floral induction more easily than the homozygous difficult-flowering type of the LcFT1 genotype of litchi germplasm resources.
