The floral transition is controlled by diverse endogenous and exogenous cues. In many species,COL(CONSTANS-like) genes integrate light and circadian clock signals to regulate flowering time. However, little is known aboutCOLsin perennial woody plants. Here, we identified 15PbCOLsin pear (Pyrus bretschneideri). PbCOLs were classified into three groups by phylogenetic tree analysis using protein sequences. Multiple sequence alignment analysis revealed conserved B-box and CCT (CO, CO-like, and TOC1) domains in all PbCOL members. This result suggested that PbCOLs might possess conserved functions as other species. SixPbCOLswere found to be regulated by both circadian clock and photoperiod. Here, we showed that PbCOL8, a member of group 2, suppressed the flowering signal integratorsFTandSOC1and could repress flowering time. These findings will contribute to elucidation of the mechanism of floral initiation in pear.
