Induction of flowering in Arabidopsis through functional peptide-mediated FT mRNA delivery by Masaki Odahara, Maai Mori, Shougo Ishio, Satoshi Kogawara, Keiji Numata

“…We developed a non-transgenic flowering induction system in the model plant Arabidopsis, employing the exogenous introduction of FT mRNA through a functional peptide-mediated delivery. Utilizing the functional peptide BP100-KH9 as a nanocarrier for nucleic acid delivery into plant cells, we confirmed the production of FT protein from the introduced FT mRNA, which was fused with a reporter gene Citrine. …”
