| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study was conducted to analyze the expression pattern of MiFT, which is a main factor for floral induction in Mango, to investigate the effect of endogenous and exogenous factors on floral induction and expression of MiFT, and to analyze the floral related genes other than MiFT. It was revealed that experiencing cool temperature below 15℃ for 130 hours was enough to increase the expression of MiFT in mango. It was also revealed that expression of MiFT in young leaves was lower than old leaves. In addition, some genes that showed down- or up-regulation by the floral-inductive cool temperature in mango leaves were obtained. These genes are under investigation.
