Two FT genes synergistically regulate the reproductive transition of loquat by Yuanyuan Jiang, Yunmei Zhu, Ze Peng, Wenbing Su, Jiangrong Peng, Yuan Yuan, Ling Zhang, Zhike Zhang, Xianghui Yang, Yongshun Gao, Shunquan Lin, Chongjian Ma

“…Furthermore, the yeast two-hybrid, bimolecular fluorescence complementation, and Dual-luciferase assay experiments revealed that both EjFT1 and EjFT2 interacted with EjFD, with the EjFT2-EjFD protein complex enhancing the activity of EjAP1-1 and EjAP1-2 promoters, while EjFT1-EjFD inhibited the activity of the EjAP1-1 promoter. Protein structural analysis of EjFT1 and EjFT2 suggested that differences in amino acid residues at Val123/Leu123, Ser157/Ala157, and Val158/Ala158 may be the reason for their functional differences. …”
