Working model for MdY3IP1 function in the regulation of photoperiodic flowering and salt tolerance. In the current working model, MdY3IP1 controls floral transition by altering the levels of sugar metabolism, and thereby influencing the expression of flowering-associated genes. MdY3IP1-expression reduces ROS production in plant cells, and promotes LR development by regulating auxin biosynthesis and transport. Additionally, it increases the expression of genes in the SOS pathway, and elevates the levels of sugar metabolism, leading to an increase in tolerance to salt stress in plants
