摘要
Flowering is an important process in higher plants and is regulated by a variety of factors,including light,tempera-ture,and phytohormones.Flowering restriction has a considerable impact on the commodity value and production cost of many horticultural crops.In Arabidopsis,the FT/TFL1 gene family has been shown to integrate signals from vari-ous flowering pathways and to play a key role in the transition from flower production to seed development.Studies in several plant species of the FT/TFL1 gene family have revealed it harbors functional diversity in the regulation of flowering.Here,we review the functional evolution of the FT/TFL1 gene family in horticulture plants and its unique regulatory mechanisms;in addition,the FT/TFL1 family of genes as an important potential breeding target is explored.
