<jats:p> <jats:italic>FLOWERING LOCUS T</jats:italic> ( <jats:italic>FT</jats:italic> ), which acts in parallel with the meristem-identity gene <jats:italic>LEAFY</jats:italic> ( <jats:italic>LFY</jats:italic> ) to induce flowering of <jats:italic>Arabidopsis</jats:italic> , was isolated by activation tagging. Like <jats:italic>LFY</jats:italic> , <jats:italic>FT</jats:italic> acts partially downstream of <jats:italic>CONSTANS</jats:italic> ( <jats:italic>CO</jats:italic> ), which promotes flowering in response to long days. Unlike many other floral regulators, the deduced sequence of the FT protein does not suggest that it directly controls transcription or transcript processing. Instead, it is similar to the sequence of TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1), an inhibitor of flowering that also shares sequence similarity with membrane-associated mammalian proteins. </jats:p>
