Changes in ambient temperature affect flowering time in plants; understanding this
phenomenon will be crucial for buffering agricultural systems from the effects of climate …

Age, as a threshold of floral competence acquisition, prevents precocious flowering when
there is insufficient biomass, and ensures flowering independent of environmental …

Plants sense light and temperature changes to regulate flowering time. Here, we show that
expression of the Arabidopsis florigen gene, FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), peaks in the …

Like many species, the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana exhibits multiple different life
histories in natural environments. We grew mutants impaired in different signaling pathways …

Background The circadian system drives pervasive biological rhythms in plants. Circadian
clocks integrate endogenous timing information with environmental signals, in order to …

Precise timing of CONSTANS (CO) gene expression is necessary for day-length
discrimination for photoperiodic flowering. The FLAVIN-BINDING, KELCH REPEAT, F-BOX 1 …

Plants show remarkable developmental plasticity to survive in a continually changing
environment. One example is their capability to adjust flowering time in response to …

In plants, flowering is triggered by endogenous and environmental signals. CONSTANS
(CO) promotes flowering of Arabidopsis in response to day length. Four early target genes of …

Vernalization is an environmentally-induced epigenetic switch in which winter cold triggers
epigenetic silencing of floral repressors and thus provides competence to flower in spring. In …

Changes in the growing-season lengths of temperate trees greatly affect biotic interactions
and global carbon balance. Yet future growing-season trajectories remain highly uncertain …
