Circadian Clock and Photoperiodic Flowering in Arabidopsis: CONSTANS Is a Hub for Signal
Integration | Plant Physiology | Oxford Academic Skip to Main Content Advertisement Oxford …

Photoperiodism allows organisms to measure daylength, or external photoperiod, and to
anticipate coming seasons. Daylength measurement requires the integration of light signal …

Flower development at the shoot apex is initiated in response to environmental cues. Day
length is one of the most important of these and is perceived in the leaves. A systemic signal …

Many of the developmental responses and behaviors in plants that occur throughout the
year are controlled by photoperiod; among these, seasonal flowering is the most …

The timing of flowering affects the success of sexual reproduction. This developmental event
also determines crop yield, biomass, and longevity. Therefore, this mechanism has been …

Plants detect changes in day length to induce seasonal patterns of flowering. The
photoperiodic pathway accelerates the flowering of Arabidopsis thaliana under long days …

A network of promoting and inhibiting pathways that respond to environmental and internal
signals controls the flowering transition. The outcome of this regulatory network establishes …

Photoperiodic plants perceive changes in day length as seasonal cues to orchestrate their
vegetative and reproductive growth. Although it is known that the floral transition of …

Appropriate control of flowering time is crucial for crop yield and the reproductive success of
plants. Flowering can be induced by a number of molecular pathways that respond to …

Plants possess a circadian clock that enables them to coordinate internal biological events
with external daily changes. Recent studies in Arabidopsis revealed that tissue-specific …
