The coordination of the timing of flowering with seasonal and development cues is a critical
life‐history trait that has been shaped by evolution to maximize reproductive success …

Precise flowering time is critical to reproductive success. In response to diverse exogenous
and endogenous cues including age, hormones, photoperiod, and temperature, the floral …

An important component of cellular biochemistry is the concentration of proteins and nucleic
acids in non-membranous compartments,. These biomolecular condensates are formed …

Noncoding RNA is emerging as an important regulator of gene expression in many
organisms. We are characterizing RNA-mediated chromatin silencing of the Arabidopsis …

In most eukaryotes, double‐stranded RNA is processed into small RNAs that are potent
regulators of gene expression. This gene silencing process is known as RNA silencing or …

Cleavage and polyadenylation specificity factor (CPSF) is the central component of the 3′
processing machinery for polyadenylated mRNAs in metazoans: CPSF recognizes the …

A high proportion of all eukaryotic genes express antisense RNA (asRNA), which
accumulates to varying degrees at different loci. Whether there is a general function for …

Abstract RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) transcription converts the DNA sequence of a single
gene into multiple transcript isoforms that may carry alternative functions. Gene isoforms …

Abstract DOG1 (Delay of Germination 1) is a key regulator of seed dormancy in Arabidopsis
(Arabidopsis thaliana) and other plants. Interestingly, the C terminus of DOG1 is either …

Background Optimum flowering time is a key agronomic trait in Brassica napus. To
investigate the genetic architecture and genetic regulation of flowering time in this important …
