Gibberellins have been classically related to a few key developmental processes, thus being
essential for the accurate unfolding of plant genetic programs. After more than a century of …

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 …

The timing of the induction of flowering determines to a large extent the reproductive
success of plants. Plants integrate diverse environmental and endogenous signals to ensure …

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

Members of the MADS-box transcription factor family play essential roles in almost every
developmental process in plants. Many MADS-box genes have conserved functions across …

Transcription factors activate or repress target gene expression or switch between activation
and repression. In animals and yeast, Groucho/Tup1 corepressor proteins are recruited by …

Annual plants grow vegetatively at early developmental stages and then transition to the
reproductive stage, followed by senescence in the same year. In contrast, after successive …

One of the key developmental processes in flowering plants is the differentiation of the shoot
apical meristem into a floral meristem. This transition is regulated through the integration of …

Modulation of the transition to flowering plays an important role in the adaptation to drought.
The drought-escape (DE) response allows plants to adaptively shorten their life cycle to …

Plant growth and development, particularly the induction of flowering, are tightly controlled
by key regulators in response to endogenous and environmental cues. The FLOWERING …
