In recent years salicylic acid (SA) has been the focus of intensive research due to its function
as an endogenous signal mediating local and systemic plant defence responses against …

Plants are multifaceted organisms that have evolved numerous solutions to the problem of
establishing, growing and reproducing with limited resources. The intrinsic dimensionality of …

Roses have high cultural and economic importance as ornamental plants and in the
perfume industry. We report the rose whole-genome sequencing and assembly and …

Ultra-violet (UV) and blue radiations are perceived by plants through several
photoreceptors. They regulate a large range of processes throughout plant life. Along with …

Small RNAs, including microRNAs (miRNAs) and short interfering RNAs (siRNAs), are key
components of an evolutionarily conserved system of RNA-based gene regulation in …

During the course of their life cycles, plants undergo various morphological and
physiological changes underlying juvenile-to-adult and adult-to-flowering phase transitions …

Analyses of datasets throughout the temperate midlatitude regions show a widespread
tendency for species to advance their springtime phenology, consistent with warming trends …

Two evolutionarily distant plant species, rice (Oryza sativa L.), a short-day (SD) plant, and
Arabidopsis thaliana, a long-day plant, share a conserved genetic network controlling …

The drought-escape response accelerates flowering in response to drought stress, allowing
plants to adaptively shorten their life cycles. Abscisic acid (ABA) mediates plant responses to …

Floral development at the Arabidopsis shoot apical meristem occurs in response to
environmental cues that are perceived in different tissues. Photoperiod is detected in the …
