Plants respond to the changing seasons to initiate developmental programmes precisely at
particular times of year. Flowering is the best characterized of these seasonal responses …

In plant development, the flowering transition and inflorescence architecture are modulated
by two homologous proteins, FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) and TERMINAL FLOWER 1 …

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 …

The switch from vegetative growth to reproductive growth, ie flowering, is the critical event in
a plant's life. Flowering is regulated either autonomously or by environmental factors; …

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

Gibberellin (GA), a diterpene hormone, plays diverse roles in plant growth and development,
including seed germination, stem elongation, and flowering time. Although it is known that …

The transition from vegetative to reproductive growth is controlled by day length in many
plant species. Day length is perceived in leaves and induces a systemic signal, called …

In trees, production of intercellular signals and accessibility of signal conduits jointly govern
dormancy cycling at the shoot apex. We identified 10 putative cell wall 1, 3-β-glucanase …

The development of a new crop variety is a time-consuming and costly process due to the
reliance of plant breeding on gene shuffling to introduce desired genes into elite germplasm …
