Rewrite (April 2009)[edit]

I gave the article a pretty major rewrite and upgraded it to start class, although there's still a fair way to go with it. Here's a suggested to do list:

Expand Mechanism section to include more detailed information (esp. on regulation of CO expression and FT protein production/translocation)
Image showing complete pathway
Full research history
Graphs showing accumulation of CO mRNA, CO protein and FT mRNA during long and short days
Add new section on conservation of florigen between species

Any help/comments welcome. Ribrob (talk) 14:42, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Is it still a mystery? Why?[edit]

The introduction currently (February 2012) states that florigen is still a mystery, but the article then seem to explain quite succintly what it is. So is it still a mystery? If so, I think the article should explain why. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.185.56.99 (talk) 11:00, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, it's still a mystery: although we've figured out a lot of what florigen does -- assuming it's a single molecule, which is not conclusively proven -- we haven't actually found florigen itself. So we don't know what it is. DS (talk) 17:20, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
