Phospholipids and flowering regulation

A better understanding of how plants adjust their flowering under unfavourable environmental conditions is key to developing climate resilient crops. Recently, Susila et al. demonstrated that phospholipids controlling the transport of florigen (FLOWERING LOCUS T; FT) act as an additional layer to prevent flowering under unfavourable conditions.

Understanding how plants adjust their flowering under unfavourable conditions is crucial for developing climate resilient crops. Recent research has shown that phospholipids play a key role in preventing flowering by controlling the transport of the flowering signal in plants.
