The power of molecular genetics has dramatically advanced our understanding of all
aspects of gibberellin (GA) signaling. Many genes encoding GA response pathway …

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

▪ Abstract The hormone gibberellin (GA) plays an important role in modulating diverse
processes throughout plant development. In recent years, significant progress has been …

FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) has a key role in the timing of the initiation of flowering in
Arabidopsis. FLC binds and represses two genes that promote flowering, FT and SOC1. We …

The importance of gibberellin (GA) in vegetative and reproductive development has been
known for some time. Recent studies have uncovered new roles of GA in leaf differentiation …

The MADS domain–containing transcription factor FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) acts as an
inhibitor of flowering and is a convergence point for several pathways that regulate flowering …

Luciferases are enzymes that emit light in the presence of oxygen and a substrate (luciferin)
and which have been used for real‐time, low‐light imaging of gene expression in cell …

Molecular genetic studies rely on well-characterized organisms that can be easily
manipulated. Arabidopsis thaliana—the model system of choice for plant biologists—allows …

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

FPA is a gene that regulates flowering time in Arabidopsis via a pathway that is independent
of daylength (the autonomous pathway). Mutations in FPA result in extremely delayed …
