Flowering & PollinationDo all mango FT-like genes have the same flowering function?
Related gene names do not establish identical biological roles. Mango studies comparing FT- and TFL1-related genes have found different expression patterns and evidence of differing functions in flowering regulation. When reading a report, check the particular gene and tissue measured. Combining every FT-like result into one flowering score can hide distinctions that the experiment was designed to investigate.
