Gene Details:

• Gene ID: GRMZM2G051338
• Suggest Gene Name: FLOWERING LOCUS T;FLOWERING LOCUS T 2a;Heading date 3a
• Description: putative flowering gene
• Species: Zea mays
• Source: Putative flowering gene from PlantCFG

Protein Features:

• Pfam:  PF01161

Functional Descriptions:

• FT, together with LFY, promotes flowering and is antagonistic with its homologous gene, TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1). FT is expressed in leaves and is induced by long day treatment. Either the FT mRNA or protein is translocated to the shoot apex where it induces its own expression. Recent data suggests that FT protein acts as a long-range signal. FT is a target of CO and acts upstream of SOC1.;E9 gene 1, Flowering locus T gene 2a, Flowering locus T-like gene 3;Encodes a florigen that is an orthologue of Arabidopsis FT
