Plant species have evolved different requirements for environmental/endogenous cues to
induce flowering. Originally, these varying requirements were thought to reflect the action of …

Plants necessitate a refined coordination of growth and development to effectively respond
to external triggers for survival and successful reproduction. This intricate harmonization of …

Noncoding transcription induces chromatin changes that can mediate environmental
responsiveness, but the causes and consequences of these mechanisms are still unclear …

The nuclear pore complex (NPC) has multiple functions beyond the nucleo-cytoplasmic
transport of large molecules. Subnuclear compartmentalization of chromatin is critical for …

As sessile organisms, plants must respond constantly to ever-changing environments to
complete their life cycle; this includes the transition from vegetative growth to reproductive …

Initiation of flowering is a key switch for plants to shift from the vegetative growth to the phase
of reproductive growth. This critical phase is essential not only for achieving successful …

Epigenetic modifications, such as histone alterations, play crucial roles in regulating the
flowering process in Arabidopsis, a typical long-day model plant. Histone modifications are …

The performance of crop plants is critically affected by biotic and abiotic stress. These
stressors threaten food availability by reducing overall crop yield and productivity. Changes …

WD40 repeat proteins (WDRs) are present in all eukaryotes and include members that are
implicated in numerous cellular activities. They act as scaffold proteins and thus as …

Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) of intracellular proteins has emerged as a hot
research topic in recent years. Membrane-less and liquid-like condensates provide dense …
