Abstract

An Arabidopsis blue-light receptor, Cry2, has been found to play a critical role in the photoperiodic control of flowering time; and genes have been identified that may control the production of a transmissible flower-inducing signal, which may turn out to be the long-elusive putative flowering hormone 'florigen'.

摘要

一种拟南芥蓝光受体Cry2已被发现，在开花时间的光周期控制中起着关键作用；并且已经鉴定出一些基因，它们可能控制一种可传递的开花诱导信号的产生，这种信号可能就是长期以来难以捉摸的假定开花激素“成花素”。
