Gene Details:

• Gene ID: GRMZM2G056186
• Suggest Gene Name: TWIN SISTER OF FT;FLOWERING LOCUS T 1a
• Description: putative flowering gene
• Species: Zea mays
• Source: Putative flowering gene from PlantCFG

Protein Features:

• Pfam:  PF01161

Functional Descriptions:

• Encodes a floral inducer that is a homolog of FT. Plants overexpressing this gene flower earlier than Col. Loss-of-function mutations flower later in short days. TSF and FT play overlapping roles in the promotion of flowering, with FT playing the dominant role.TSF sequences show extensive variation in different accessions and may contribute to quantitative variation in flowering time in these accessions. TSF has a complex pattern of spatial expression; it is expressed mainly in phloem and expression is regulated by daylength and vernalization.;Flowering locus T gene 1a, Twin sister of FT gene 2
