Seedling establishment is inhibited on media containing high levels (∼ 6%) of glucose or
fructose. Genetic loci that overcome the inhibition of seedling growth on high sugar have …

Photoperiod and temperature are major environmental signals affecting flowering in plants.
Although molecular pathways mediating these signals have been well characterized in the …

Flowering time is a major determinant of adaptation, fitness and yield in the allopolyploid
species rapeseed (Brassica napus). Despite being a close relative to Arabidopsis thaliana …

To compensate for their sessile nature, plants have evolved sophisticated mechanisms
enabling them to adapt to ever-changing environments. One such prominent feature is the …
