Plants have evolved to time their leafing, flowering and fruiting in appropriate seasons for
growth, reproduction and resting. As a consequence of their adaptation to geographically …

Plants remember their exposure to environmental changes and respond more effectively the
next time they encounter a similar change by flexibly altering gene expression. Epigenetic …

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

Long-term field monitoring of leaf pigment content is informative for understanding plant
responses to environments distinct from regulated chambers but is impractical by …

Given their sessile nature, plants have evolved sophisticated regulatory networks to confer
developmental plasticity for adaptation to fluctuating environments. Epigenetic codes, like tri …

Diel and seasonal oscillations are two major environmental changes in nature. While
organisms cope with the former by the well-characterized mechanism of the circadian clock …

Understanding the mechanistic basis of epigenetic memory has proven to be a difficult task
due to the underlying complexity of the systems involved in its establishment and …

Exposure to moderately high temperature enables plants to acquire thermotolerance to high
temperatures that might otherwise be lethal. In Arabidopsis thaliana, histone H3 lysine 27 …

Circadian regulation has a pervasive influence upon plant development, physiology and
metabolism, impacting upon components of fitness and traits of agricultural importance …

In temperate trees, optimal timing and quality of flowering directly depend on adequate
winter dormancy progression, regulated by a combination of chilling and warm …
