Many plants synchronize their life cycles in response to changing seasons and initiate
flowering under favourable environmental conditions to ensure reproductive success. To …

Plants initiate flowering after a period of vegetative development. During this process, called
floral induction, the shoot apical meristem starts to produce flowers instead of leaves. The …

Molecular genetic studies using Arabidopsis thaliana as a model system have
overwhelmingly revealed many important molecular mechanisms underlying the control of …

Flowers come in a variety of colors, shapes and sizes. Despite this variety, flowers have a
very stereotypical architecture, consisting of a series of sterile organs surrounding the …

Flowering is controlled by environmental conditions and developmental regulation. The
complexity of this regulation is created by an intricate network of signaling pathways …

Successful sexual reproduction in plants depends on the recognition of favourable
environmental conditions and the integration of that information with endogenous …

Reproductive development in plants is controlled by complex and intricate gene-regulatory
networks of transcription factors. These networks integrate the information from endogenous …

▪ Abstract At a certain stage in their life cycle, plants switch from vegetative to reproductive
development. This transition is regulated by multiple developmental and environmental …

Flowering is an integral developmental process in angiosperms, crucial to reproductive
success and continuity of the species through time. Some angiosperms complete their life …

Flowering is one of the most critical developmental transitions in plants' life. The irreversible
change from the vegetative to the reproductive stage is strictly controlled to ensure the …
