Temperature is a key factor governing the growth and development, distribution, and
seasonal behavior of plants. The entire plant life cycle is affected by environmental …

Temperature is a key environmental cue that influences the distribution and behavior of
plants globally. Understanding how plants sense temperature and integrate this information …

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 …

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been proposed to play important roles in gene
regulation. However, their importance in epigenetic silencing and how specificity is …

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) affect gene regulation through structural and regulatory
interactions with associated proteins. The Polycomb complex often binds to lncRNAs in …

Trees growing in boreal and temperate regions synchronize their growth with seasonal
climatic changes in adaptive responses that are essential for their survival. These trees …

Vernalization is an environmentally-induced epigenetic switch in which winter cold triggers
epigenetic silencing of floral repressors and thus provides competence to flower in spring. In …

Plants undergo a major physiological change as they transition from vegetative growth to
reproductive development. This transition is a result of responses to various endogenous …

In boreal and temperate ecosystems, temperature signal regulates the reactivation of growth
(bud break) in perennials in the spring. Molecular basis of temperature-mediated control of …

Cells of a multicellular organism are genetically homogeneous but structurally and
functionally heterogeneous owing to the differential expression of genes. Many of these …
