Abstract: SHORT VEGETATIVE PHASESVP)is an important repressor of flowering process which is expressed at the stage of vegetative development. SVP mediates the plants’ flowering time, by which participates in the formation of meristematic tissue of flowers and regulates the expression of some flowering integrator such as FLOWERING LOCUS TFT),SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS1(SOC1)or FLOWERING LOCUS CFLC). The expression of SVP is affected by photoperiod, temperature and other factors. In the paper, review the present research progress of the SVP gene and homologous gene were reviewed, the prospects of future research activities were clisussed.
