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

We are now reaching the stage at which specific genetic factors with known physiological
effects can be tied directly and quantitatively to variation in phenology. With such a …

Warming experiments are increasingly relied on to estimate plant responses to global
climate change,. For experiments to provide meaningful predictions of future responses, they …

Significant changes in plant phenology have been observed in response to increases in
mean global temperatures. There are concerns that accelerated phenologies can negatively …

An apparent contradiction has arisen in studies of plant phenological response to climatic
warming: Field and satellite data at the community and biome levels indicate a lengthening …

Intraspecific trait variation is caused by genetic and plastic responses to environment. This
intraspecific diversity is captured in immense natural history collections, giving us a window …

Multiple environmental and endogenous inputs regulate when plants flower. The molecular
genetic dissection of flowering time control in Arabidopsis has identified an integrated …

Local adaptation is critical for species persistence in the face of rapid environmental change,
but its genetic basis is not well understood. Growing the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana in …

The evolution of diverse life history strategies has allowed Arabidopsis thaliana to adapt to
worldwide locations, spanning a range of latitudinal and environmental conditions …

Life-history traits controlling the duration and timing of developmental phases in the life cycle
jointly determine fitness. Therefore, life-history traits studied in isolation provide an …
