Functional divergence of FTL9 and FTL10 in flowering control in rice
Abstract Background Floral transition in cereals is a critical phenomenon influenced by exogenous and endogenous signals, determining crop yield and reproduction.Flowering Locus T-like (FT-like) genes read more encode a mobile florigen, the main signaling molecule for flowering.Results In this study, we characterized two FT-like genes, FTL9 and FTL
