Background One of the key goals of fruit biology is to understand the factors that influence
fruit growth and quality, ultimately with a view to manipulating them for improvement of fruit …

A recent initiative named 'Crops in silico'proposes that multi-scale models 'have the potential
to fill in missing mechanistic details and generate new hypotheses to prioritize directed …

As most organisms have evolved in seasonal environments, their environmental responses
should be adapted to seasonal transitions. Here we show that the combination of …

Multi-scale models can facilitate whole plant simulations by linking gene networks, protein
synthesis, metabolic pathways, physiology, and growth. Whole plant models can be further …

Plants accumulate reserves in the daytime to support growth at night. Circadian regulation of
diel reserve turnover was investigated by profiling starch, sugars, glucose 6‐phosphate …

The plant‐specific protein GIGANTEA (GI) controls many developmental and physiological
processes, mediating rhythmic post‐translational regulation. GI physically binds several …

Plants are complex organisms that adapt to changes in their environment using an array of
regulatory mechanisms that span across multiple levels of biological organization. Due to …

Metabolites influence flowering time, and thus are among the major determinants of yield.
Despite the reported role of trehalose 6-phosphate and nitrate signaling on the transition …

We assessed mechanistic temperature influence on flowering by incorporating temperature-
responsive flowering mechanisms across developmental age into an existing model …

Plants need to avoid carbon starvation and resultant growth inhibition under fluctuating light
environments to ensure optimal growth and reproduction. As diel patterns of carbon …
