Many plants synchronize their life cycles in response to changing seasons and initiate
flowering under favourable environmental conditions to ensure reproductive success. To …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Seed germination and postgerminative growth require the precise coordination of multiple
intrinsic and environmental signals. The phytohormone abscisic acid (ABA) suppresses …

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

CONSTANS (CO) is a critical regulator of flowering that combines photoperiodic and
circadian signals in Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana). CO is expressed in multiple tissues …

The core plant circadian oscillator is composed of multiple interlocked transcriptional–
translational feedback loops, which synchronize endogenous diel physiological rhythms to …

How the noncoding genome affects cellular functions is a key biological question. A
particular challenge is to distinguish the effects of noncoding DNA elements from long …

In Arabidopsis, CONSTANS (CO) integrates light and circadian clock signals to promote
flowering under long days (LD). In the grasses, a duplication generated two paralogs …
