Mechanisms that mediate the control of flowering time have been accessed through a
molecular genetic approach in Arabidopsis. Flowering is regulated by different pathways …

The gibberellin class of plant hormones has been implicated in the control of flowering in
several species. In Arabidopsis, severe reduction of endogenous gibberellins delays …

Flowering plants produce a meristem at the shoot tip where specialized tissue generates
shoot apical meristems at the appropriate time to differentiate into reproductive structures …

Fluctuations in environmental conditions greatly influence life on earth. Plants, as sessile
organisms, have developed molecular mechanisms to adapt their development to changes …

The timing of the transition from vegetative growth to flowering is of paramount importance in
agriculture, horticulture, and plant breeding because flowering is the first step of sexual …

Vernalization is the process by which flowering is promoted by prolonged exposure to the
cold of a typical winter. In certain plant species, the role of vernalization is to suppress the …

The timing of the floral transition in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) is influenced by a
number of environmental signals. Here, we have focused on acceleration of flowering in …

Plants monitor changes in photoperiod and temperature to synchronize their flowering with
seasonal changes to maximize fitness. In the Arabidopsis photoperiodic flowering pathway …

In wild and cultivated annual plant species, flowering time is an important life-history trait that
coordinates the life cycle with local environmental conditions. Extensive studies on the …

Molecular mechanisms regulating the flowering process have been extensively studied in
model annual plants; in perennials, however, understanding of the molecular mechanisms …
