Unpredicted variability in temperature is associated with frequent extreme low-temperature
events. Wheat is a leading crop in fulfilling global food requirements. Climate-driven …

The control of flowering is central to reproductive success in plants, and has a major impact
on grain yield in crop species. The global importance of temperate cereal crops such as …

Temperature and light are important environmental stimuli that have a profound influence on
the growth and development of plants. Wheat varieties can be divided on the basis of …

Low temperatures lead to the inhibition of sucrose synthesis and photosynthesis. The
biochemical and physiological adaptations of plants to low temperatures include the post …

To develop more productive and resilient crops that are capable of feeding 10 billion people
by 2050, we must accelerate the rate of genetic improvement in plant breeding programs …

Key message This review summarizes the allelic series, effects, interactions between genes
and with the environment, for the major flowering time genes that drive phenological …

The molecular genetics of vernalization, defined as the promotion of flowering by cold
treatment, is still poorly understood in cereals. To better understand this mechanism, we …

CBFs are key regulators in the Arabidopsis cold signaling pathway. We used Hordeum
vulgare (barley), an important crop and a diploid Triticeae model, to characterize the CBF …

Dehydrins (DHNs; late embryogenesis abundant D11 family) are a family of intrinsically
unstructured plant proteins that accumulate in the late stages of seed development and in …

Wheat chromosome 5A plays a key role in cold acclimation and frost tolerance. The major
frost tolerance gene Fr-A1 (formerly Fr1) and two loci that regulate the transcription of co ld-r …
