Photoperiodic flowering is one of the most important factors affecting regional adaptation
and yield in soybean (Glycine max). Plant adaptation to long‐day conditions at higher …

Cryptochromes are blue-light receptors that mediate photoresponses in plants. The
genomes of most land plants encode two clades of cryptochromes, CRY1 and CRY2, which …

Conifers dominate the world's forest ecosystems and are the most widely planted tree
species. Their giant and complex genomes present great challenges for assembling a …

Water lilies belong to the angiosperm order Nymphaeales. Amborellales, Nymphaeales and
Austrobaileyales together form the so-called ANA-grade of angiosperms, which are extant …

Domestication provides an important model for the study of evolution, and information
learned from domestication research aids in the continued improvement of crop species …

Fluctuations in environmental conditions greatly influence life on earth. Plants, as sessile
organisms, have developed molecular mechanisms to adapt their development to changes …

The timing of flowering, and in particular the degree to which it is responsive to the
environment, is a key factor in the adaptation of a given species to various eco-geographic …

Annualization of woody perennials has the potential to revolutionize the breeding and
production of fruit crops and rapidly improve horticultural species. Kiwifruit (Actinidia …

Correct measurement of environmental parameters is fundamental for plant fitness and
survival, as well as for timing developmental transitions, including the switch from vegetative …

Plant growth and development, particularly the induction of flowering, are tightly controlled
by key regulators in response to endogenous and environmental cues. The FLOWERING …
