Plant flowering time is a consequence of the perception of environmental and endogenous signals. The MCM1-AGAMOUSDEFICIENS-SRF-box (MADS-box) gene SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASE (SVP) is a pivotal repressor that negatively regulates the floral transition during the vegetative phase. The transcriptional corepressor TOPLESS (TPL) plays critical roles in many aspects of plant life. An interaction first identified between the second LXLXLX motif (LRLGLP) of CmSVP with CmTPL1-2, which can repress the expression of a key flowering factor CmFTL3 by binding its promotor CArG element in chrysanthemum. Genetic analysis suggested that the CmSVP-CmTPL1-2 transcriptional complex is a prerequisite for SVP to act as a floral repressor, which reduces CmFTL3 transcriptional activity. CmSVP rescued the phenotype of the svp-31 mutant in Arabidopsis, and overexpression of AtSVP or CmSVP in the Arabidopsis dominant negative mutation tpl-1 led to a loss-of-function in late flowering, which confirmed the highly conserved function of SVP in the two completely different species. Thus, we have validated a conserved machinery wherein SVP relies on TPL to inhibit flowering through the direct regulation of FT, which is more meaningful for the evolution of species and could be translated to high-quality cultivation and breeding of crops.
