A Pair of Related Genes with Antagonistic Roles in Mediating Flowering Signals

Kobayashi, Yasushi, Kaya, Hidetaka, Goto, Koji, Iwabuchi, Masaki, Araki, Takashi·1999·Science

Abstract

Flowering in Arabidopsis is promoted via several interacting pathways. A photoperiod-dependent pathway relays signals from photoreceptors to a transcription factor gene, CONSTANS ( CO ), which activates downstream meristem identity genes such as LEAFY ( LFY ). FT , together with LFY , promotes flowering and is positively regulated by CO . Loss of FT causes delay in flowering, whereas overexpression of FT results in precocious flowering independent of CO or photoperiod. FT acts in part downstream of CO and mediates signals for flowering in an antagonistic manner with its homologous gene, TERMINAL FLOWER1 ( TFL1 ).

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
