ABSTRACT=<p>Phloem-mobile signals that are regulated by day length activate both flowering and tuber formation. Both signaling processes have numerous elements in common. In this review, FLOWERING LOCUS T and the three signals currently implicated in controlling tuberization, SP6A, miR172, and the StBEL5 complex, are discussed with a focus on their functional roles, their mechanisms of long-distance transport, and their possible interactions.</p>
