Gene Details:
- Gene ID: Bradi1g48830
- Gene Symbol: BdFTL2
- Gene Name: FLOWERING LOCUS T2
- Genome: B. distachyon accession Bd21
- Species: Brachypodium distachyon
Functional Description:
- Transgenic assays showed that both BdFTL1 and BdFTL2 could promote flowering, whereas BdFTL2 was essential for flowering initiation.
- BdFTL1 and BdFTL2 had similar transcription patterns in different tissues, developmental phases, and during responses to the light/dark shift, indicating that transcriptional regulation was not likely to be the key element causing large functional differences in flowering.
- Taken together, florigen BdFTL2 functions as a potential epigenetic effector of BdFTL1 by interacting with a BdES43-H3K4me3 complex. This finding provides an additional insight for the regulatory mechanism underlying the multifaceted roles of florigen.
- BdFTL2 directly or indirectly regulates the transcriptional activity and AS of BdFTL1.
