FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) protein is known to be part of the mobile flowering inducing ‘florigen’ signal in plants, but it may not be acting alone. This article reviews the data that FT mRNA can also move systemically throughout the plant and into the shoot apical meristem (SAM) independently of the FT...
