Flowering plants initially diversified during the Mesozoic era at least 140 million years ago in
regions of the world where temperate seasonal environments were not encountered. Since …

Grasses of the subfamily Pooideae, including important cereal crops and pasture grasses,
are widespread in temperate zones. Seasonal regulation of developmental transitions …

Plants live in association with microorganisms that positively influence plant development,
vigor, and fitness in response to pathogens and abiotic stressors. The bulk of the plant …

Brachypodium distachyon (Brachypodium) is a model for the temperate grasses which
include important cereals such as barley, wheat and oats. Comparison of the Brachypodium …

The ecological and adaptive significance of plant polyploidization is not well understood and
no clear pattern of association between polyploid frequency and environment has emerged …

Timing of flowering is key to the reproductive success of many plants. In temperate climates,
flowering is often coordinated with seasonal environmental cues such as temperature and …

The phase transition from vegetative to reproductive growth is a critical event in the life cycle
of flowering plants. FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) plays a central role in the regulation of this …

Few pan‐genomic studies have been conducted in plants, and none of them have focused
on the intraspecific diversity and evolution of their plastid genomes. We address this issue in …

It is now a decade since Brachypodium distachyon (Brachypodium) was suggested as a
model species for temperate grasses and cereals. Since then transformation protocols, large …
