As sessile species and without the possibility of escape, plants constantly face numerous
environmental stresses. To adapt in the external environmental cues, plants adjust …

Background The oxidation-reduction (redox) status of the cell influences or regulates
transcription factors and enzymes involved in epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation …

Since plants are sessile organisms, developmental plasticity in response to environmental
stresses is essential for their survival. Upon exposure to drought, lateral root development is …

Plants have evolved to time their leafing, flowering and fruiting in appropriate seasons for
growth, reproduction and resting. As a consequence of their adaptation to geographically …

DNA methylation and histone modification are evolutionarily conserved epigenetic
modifications that are crucial for the expression regulation of abiotic stress‐responsive …

Vernalization, a long-term cold-mediated acquisition of flowering competence, is critically
regulated by VERNALIZATION INSENSITIVE 3 (VIN3), a gene induced by vernalization in …

Epigenetics are the heritable changes in gene expression patterns which occur without
altering DNA sequence. These changes are reversible and do not change the sequence of …

Flowering time is strongly related to the environment, while the genotype-by-environment
interaction study for flowering time is lacking in Brassica napus. Here, a total of 11,700,689 …

Bud dormancy helps woody perennials survive winter and activate robust plant development
in the spring. For apple (Malus× domestica), short‐term chilling induces bud dormancy in …

Longan (Dimocarpus longan Lour.) is an important economic crop widely planted in tropical
and subtropical regions, and flower and fruit development play decisive effects on the …
