Gene Details:

• Gene ID: TraesCS7A02G115400
• Gene Symbol: FT-A1
• Gene Name: FLOWERING LOCUS T
• Genome: Chinese_Spring1.0
• Species: Triticum aestivum

Functional Descriptions:

• We show that in these species, the vernalization gene VRN3 is linked completely to a gene similar to Arabidopsis FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT).
• These results confirmed that the wheat and barley FT genes are responsible for natural allelic variation in vernalization requirement
• FT induction in the leaves results in a transmissible signal that travels through the phloem to the apex, where it induces flowering
• Winter wheat plants transformed with the TaFT allele carrying the promoter retroelement insertion flowered significantly earlier than nontransgenic plants, supporting the identity between TaFT and VRN-B3.

Literature:

• The wheat and barley vernalization gene VRN3 is an orthologue of FT.   DOI:  10.1073/pnas.0607142103 ;  PMID:  17158798
