The circadian oscillator is a complex network of interconnected feedback loops that
regulates a wide range of physiological processes. Indeed, variation in clock genes has …

Timely flowering is essential for optimum crop reproduction and yield. To determine the best
flowering‐time genes (FTGs) relevant to local adaptation and breeding, it is essential to …

Increasing grain yield is a long-term goal in crop breeding to meet the demand for global
food security. Heterosis, when a hybrid shows higher performance for a trait than both …

The roles of clock components in salt stress tolerance remain incompletely characterized in
rice. Here, we show that, among OsPRR (Oryza sativa Pseudo‐Response Regulator) family …

Circadian clocks regulate growth and development in plants and animals, but the role of
circadian regulation in crop production is poorly understood. Rice (Oryza sativa) grain yield …

Molecular genetic studies using Arabidopsis thaliana as a model system have
overwhelmingly revealed many important molecular mechanisms underlying the control of …

Circadian clocks are endogenous timers that enable plants to synchronize biological
processes with daily and seasonal environmental conditions in order to allocate resources …

Abstract Background Rice (Oryza sativa) and Arabidopsis thaliana have been widely used
as model systems to understand how plants control flowering time in response to …

Determining the drivers of gene expression patterns is more straightforward in laboratory
conditions than in the complex fluctuating environments where organisms typically live. We …

GIGANTEA (GI) is a plant specific nuclear protein and functions in diverse physiological
processes such as flowering time regulation, light signaling, hypocotyl elongation, control of …
