using mutants in known dormancy-related genes [DELAY OF GERMINATION 1 (DOG1), MOTHER OF FLOWERING TIME (MFT), CBL-INTERACTING PROTEIN KINASE 23 (CIPK23) and PHYTOCHROME A (PHYA)] components of the circadian clock are shown to be involved in coordination of the annual seed dormancy cycle.
Title: A laboratory simulation of Arabidopsis seed dormancy cycling provides new insight into its regulation by clock genes and the dormancy-related genes DOG1, MFT, CIPK23 and PHYA.

Unlike DOG1, expression of MOTHER of FLOWERING TIME (MFT) has an opposite thermal response in seeds of the two ecotypes, and may therefore have a role in their different dormancy cycling phenotypes.
Title: Temperature, light and nitrate sensing coordinate Arabidopsis seed dormancy cycling, resulting in winter and summer annual phenotypes.

MFT function is also relevant to the brassinosteroids signaling pathway.
Title: MOTHER OF FT AND TFL1 regulates seed germination and fertility relevant to the brassinosteroid signaling pathway.

During seed germination, MFT promotes embryo growth by constituting a negative feedback loop in the ABA signaling pathway.
