As sessile organisms, plants must overcome various stresses. Accordingly, they have
evolved several plant-specific growth and developmental processes. These plant processes …

Barley (H ordeum vulgare ssp. vulgare) is an excellent model for understanding agricultural
responses to climate change. Its initial domestication over 10 millennia ago and subsequent …

Polyploidy (genome duplication) is a pivotal force in evolution. However, the interactions
between parental genomes in a polyploid nucleus, frequently involving subgenome …

Common bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) is the most important grain legume for human
consumption and has a role in sustainable agriculture owing to its ability to fix atmospheric …

Plants are sessile organisms that gauge stressful conditions to ensure survival and
reproductive success. While plants in nature often encounter chronic or recurring stressful …

Flowering is a hot topic in Plant Biology and important progress has been made in
Arabidopsis thaliana toward unraveling the genetic networks involved. The increasing …

Bamboo represents the only major lineage of grasses that is native to forests and is one of
the most important non-timber forest products in the world. However, no species in the …

Flowering time is a key agronomic trait that directly influences the successful adaptation of
soybean (Glycine max) to diverse latitudes and farming systems. Gm FT 2a and Gm FT 5a …

Flowering time of plants must be tightly regulated to maximize reproductive success. Plants
have evolved sophisticated signaling network to coordinate the timing of flowering in …

A classical role of the hormone auxin is in the formation of flowers at the periphery of the
reproductive shoot apex. Mutants in regulators of polar auxin transport or in the auxin …
