Abstract: Dual florigen response in potatoes The seasonality of plant developmental processes such as flowering and tuber formation is dependent largely on changes in day length. This response is mediated in Arabidopsis, tomato and rice plants by a mobile protein known as FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), the main component of the long-range florigen signal. A study of the potato (Solanum tuberosum) now shows that floral and tuberization transitions are controlled by two different FT-like genes (StSP3D and StSP6A) that respond to independent environmental cues.
