A model for interaction of 14–3-3 with TFL1 and FT. The interaction complexes comprising TFL1–14–3-3 s or FT-14-3-3 s mainly occur in the cytoplasm and form a larger ternary complex with FD in the nucleus, thereby regulating the expression of the downstream floral meristem identity gene AP1 for flower transition [36]. TFL1 competes with FT for 14–3-3 binding. TFL1–14–3-3-FD complex acts as a floral repressor (a), While FT-14-3-3-FD complex acts as a floral activator (b). The balance between TFL1 and FT controls the vegetative and reproductive growth in the apical meristem, modulating the plant architecture and optimizing of crop productivity
