ABA and GIGANTEA signalling promote FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) transcriptional activation by regulating the binding of the transcription factor CONSTANS to the proximal FT promoter - Robustelli Test & Perrella et al.

🔗 doi.org/10.1093/jxb/...

#PlantScience 🧪
Fig. 6 (shortened, full legend in paper): ABA signalling and GI act together to promoter CO recruitment to the FT promoter and regulate flowering time. (A) Boxplot of flowering time of the indicated genotypes and isogenic lines derived from the introgression of SUC2::HA:CO transgenes into aba1-6 or gi mutant backgrounds. Note that for the SUC2::HA:CO aba1-6 gi-100 combination, two sibling lines were analysed. An ANOVA test to assess the impact of mutations at the ABA1 and GI loci on leaf number at bolting was run separately for transgenic (SUC2::HA:CO) and control plants (vertical bar). For both groups, genotype was a statistically significant predictor of leaf number at bolting (P < 0.001). Letters at the top of boxplots indicate if genotypes showed statistically significant differences (P < 0.05) according to a Tukey post-hoc test. The number of samples analysed for each genotype is shown at the bottom of the graph.
