FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT)
the day-length-specific induction of the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) gene, which encodes florigen, is a major final output of the pathway
In arabidopsis, the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) protein, a mobile signal recognized as a major component of florigen, has a central position in mediating the onset of flowering.
FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) plays a key role as a mobile floral induction signal that initiates the floral transition.

In Arabidopsis, FT messenger RNA levels peak in the morning and evening under natural long-day conditions (LDs).
ZTL interacts with TOEs and thereby represses morning FT expression in natural environments.
Quoted textsource-backed
Here, we demonstrate that ZEITLUPE (ZTL) interacts with the FT repressors TARGET OF EATs (TOEs), thereby repressing morning FT expression in natural environments.
Under natural long-day-mimicking conditions with simulated sunlight and daily temperature cycles, the ztl mutant shows high FT transcript levels specifically in the morning, and this pattern is mirrored in the toe1 toe2 double mutant.
Quoted textsource-backed
Under LDs with simulated sunlight (R:FR = 1.0) and daily temperature cycles, which are natural LD-mimicking environmental conditions, FT transcript levels in the ztl mutant were high specifically in the morning, a pattern that was mirrored in the toe1 toe2 double mutant.
The phyA-mediated high-irradiance response and GI play pivotal roles in morning FT induction.

Therefore, the phyA-mediated high-irradiance response and GI play pivotal roles in morning FT induction.
Low night-to-morning temperatures increase the inhibitory effect of ZTL on morning FT expression by increasing ZTL protein levels early in the morning.

Low night-to-morning temperatures increased the inhibitory effect of ZTL on morning FT expression by increasing ZTL protein levels early in the morning.
In leaves, day-length-specific induction of FT is a major final output of the photoperiodic flowering pathway.
