Recent research showed that FT gene not only promoted flowering, but in some plants FT also showed the function of inhibition of plant flowering. At the same time the function of FT gene has also been identified as a major regulatory factor in a wide range of developmental processes, such as fruit set, vegetative growth, stomatal control, tuberization, and branches elongation. This article reviewed the latest pleiotropic func- tions of FT and its orthologs in plant development, providing a theoretical basis for further study about the function of FT-like gene sub-family.
