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 …

The mechanisms underlying mast seeding have traditionally been studied by collecting long-
term observational data on seed crops and correlating seedfall with environmental …

During and after the domestication of crops from ancestral wild plants, humans selected
cultivars that could change their flowering time in response to seasonal daylength …

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

Despite most angiosperms being perennial, once-flowering annuals have evolved multiple
times independently, making life history traits among the most labile trait syndromes in …

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 …

As sessile organisms, plants are finely tuned to respond dynamically to developmental,
circadian and environmental cues. Genome‐wide studies investigating these types of cues …

Perennial life cycles enable plants to have remarkably long lifespans, as exemplified by
trees that can live for thousands of years. For this, they require sophisticated regulatory …
