The delay of floral transition was due to extension of the late vegetative phase, which resulted in a

delayed activation of LFY expression.

Suc slightly inhibited flowering in wild-type plants. This delay resulted from effects on the early
vegetative phase.

sugar may affect floral transition by activating or inhibiting genes that act to control floral transition,
depending on the concentration of sugars, the genetic background of the plants, and when the sugar is
introduced.

high levels of sugar in the medium inhibits both hypocotyl elongation

Suc promotes flowering

concentration of Suc in the phloem reaching the shoot apex increases rapidly and transiently

high levels of Glc in the medium significantly delayed flowering in Arabidopsis. Therefore high and low
concentrations of sugar in the medium have been reported to affect floral transition

t sugar in the medium inhibits floral transition in at least two different ways and that the promotive and
inhibiting effects of sugar on flowering depends on the concentration and time of addition of sugar and
the genetic background of plants.

The delay of flowering in sin1/gl1 double mutant was characterized mainly by the increase in the
number of rosette leaves with trichomes

Plants contain only small amounts of T6P or Trehalose 6-phosphate which is an important regulator of
plant metabolism and development as it is also required for the onset of leaf senescence which is then
associated with Carbon availability. By blocking the production of T6P it could delay flowering .
Meanwhile, this sugar (T6P) is necessary for the production of FT (Flowering Locus T), this gene is
crucial for the accelerated flowering in response to long days. And flowering without FT is greatly
delayed
