Abstract: In order to study the functions of longan TFL1 homologs DlTFL1-1 and DlTFL1-2,Plant expression vectors pCAMBIA2300-DlTFL1-1 and pCAMBIA2300-DlTFL1-2 were constructed and DlTFL1-1 and DlTFL1-2 were transformed into Arabidopsis and tobacco mediated by Agrobacterium tumefaciens GV3101. Effects of overexpression of DlTFL1-1 and DlTFL1-2 on flowering time and phenotypes of transgenic Arabidopsis and tobacco plants were observed. D1TFL1-1 and D1TFL1-2 proteins had a highly similar secondary structure with AtTFL1 and had a typical PEBP conserved domain,however,D1TFL1-1 and D1TFL1-1 proteins have significantly different protein tertiary structure with AtTFL1. The flowering time was delayed in both DlTFL1-1 and DlTFL1-2 transgenic Arabidopsis under both long-day and short-day conditions. Under long-day conditions,the flowering time of DlTFL1-1 and DlTFL1-2 transgenic Arabidopsis was delayed for 10.0 and 6.8 days,respectively. At the same time,DlTFL1 transgenic Arabidopsis plants had more branches in inflorescences. Under short-day conditions,the flowering time of DlTFL1-1 and DlTFL1-2 transgenic Arabidopsis was delayed for 5.3 and 3.0 days respectively. In addition,the delay of flowering time was also observed in DlTFL1-1 and DlTFL1-2 transgenic tobacco plants. qPCR results showed that under long-day conditions,the expression level of AtFT in leaves decreased significantly. The expression of AtLEAFY and AtAP1 in inflorescences were also significantly down-regulated. Our results suggested that DlTFL1-1 and DlTFL1-2 play an role in inhibiting floral bud differentiation,and they may be the flowering repressors in longan.
