The transition from vegetative growth to flowering is often controlled by environmental
conditions and influenced by the age of the plant. Intensive genetic analysis has identified …

The timing of flower initiation is a highly plastic developmental process. To achieve
reproductive success, plants must select the most favourable season to initiate reproductive …

Many plants are adapted to flower at particular times of year, to ensure optimal pollination
and seed maturation. In these plants flowering is controlled by environmental signals that …

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

The coordination of the timing of flowering with seasonal and development cues is a critical
life‐history trait that has been shaped by evolution to maximize reproductive success …

▪ Abstract The timing of the transition from vegetative to reproductive development is of great
fundamental and applied interest but is still poorly understood. Recently, molecular-genetic …

Plant species have evolved different requirements for environmental/endogenous cues to
induce flowering. Originally, these varying requirements were thought to reflect the action of …

The mechanisms by which the transition to flowering is regulated in plants have been the
subject of intense physiological study for many years. Recent studies, particularly in …

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

Plants undergo a major physiological change as they transition from vegetative growth to
reproductive development. This transition is a result of responses to various endogenous …
