The mystery behind the science report about the discovery of florigen, a long-sought compound with the power to make flowers bloom is reviewed. The report claimed that the RNA produced by a gene called Flowering Locus T, or FT caused the bloom, but new data report suggest that the protein causes the phenomenon produced by the FT gene and not FT RNA.
