However, Jatropha exhibits low seed yield as a result of unreliable and poor flowering. FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) –like genes are important flowering regulators in higher plants. To date, the flowering genes in Jatropha have not yet been identified or characterized. SN - 1471-2229 UR - https://doi.org/10.1186/1471-2229-14-125 DO - 10.1186/1471-2229-14-125 ID - Li2014 ER -
