 Cornell News: Finding florigen
First, using Arabidopsis plants in which all CONSTANS protein had been abolished, they introduced a copy of the CONSTANS gene under the control of the galactinol synthase promoter, which causes the protein to be synthesized only in the leaf.
This suggests that either CONSTANS is moved throughout the plant to the site of flowering through the phloem, or it interacts with another factor inside the phloem that is transported to the site of flowering.
This elegant experiment showed that CONSTANS, or another factor that it interacts with, was able to move through the graft junction to signal flowering in the parts of the plant that formerly were devoid of any of the protein.

Constans is the name of Uther's and Ambrosius' eldest brother in some of the sources.
I remember because Constantine was the name of a Roman general in Britain who rebelled, and he had a son named Constans, and Geoffrey merged them into his Kings of the Britons list with Uther and Ambrosius.
As I recall, he did; he had four sucessors and one of them was a half-nephew that he adopted, and I think that might've been Constans.
