Final Activity Report Summary - FLORIGENE (Characterisation of the role of the flowering locus T mRNA transport in the regulation of flowering time)
During this project also other aspects of FT function and regulation were investigated. It was found that although the FT gene has a very strong expression in the siliques during seed formation, no evidence for a role of FT in the regulation of seed dormancy or germination could be found. Aditionally, experiments were initiated to study the role of the plant Mediator complex in the transcriptional regulation of FT.
