摘要: Seasonal temperature fluctuations serve as crucial environmental cues that regulate plant reproductive timing, yet the mechanisms underlying thermoresponsive flowering regulation in tomato remain poorly understood. The study uncovers a temperature-sensing mechanism in the tomato shoot apical meristem coordinated through antagonistic interactions between a florigen-like protein FLOWERING LOCUS T-Like 2 (FTL2) and florigen protein SINGLE-FLOWER TRUSS (SFT). Under short day conditions, FTL2 expression is specifically upregulated at the shoot apex by high temperature and functions as a flowering repressor. FTL2 physically interacts with the floral inducer SFT, directly suppressing its transcriptional activity to delay floral transition. This FTL2-SFT regulatory circuit enables tomato precise integration of photoperiodic and thermal signals at the shoot apex, providing a molecular framework for seasonal flowering adaptation. The findings elucidate a fundamental mechanism of temperature perception in tomato flowering control and provide broader insights into how florigen-based networks contribute to adaptive flowering control across plant species.
