Rewrite (April 2009)
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)

Is it still a mystery? Why?
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)


 * 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)
