Abstract
Florigen is classically defined as a signal, typically produced in leaves, that when translocated to the meristems results in the initiation of flowering.
Florigen is now known to be a small protein, and its structure and activity appear to be conserved in all flowering plants.
Because of this conservation, it should be possible to engineer systems to induce flowering in any plant species.
