Nature research paper: Florigen activation complex forms via multifaceted assembly in Arabidopsis

go.nature.com/4pd26f8
Florigen activation complex forms via multifaceted assembly in Arabidopsis - Nature
In flowering plants, DNA–FD–14-3-3 recruits FT to the florigen activation complex both through DNA–FT interactions and by reducing liquid phase condensation of FD protein, which promotes dimerization, leading to FT recruitment.

Over the last couple of years I have been writing individual chapters of what I call

Each chapter covers a specific, basic, but for some reason special and interesting aspect of #PlantScience research.

It is sad that even basic research needs to be defended with utility. For me, basic research is in the same category as art: civilized societies can't do without it, because we all want to know who we are and what our place in the natural world is -- questions that only science can answer.
