Complex Signaling Networks Underlying Blue-Light-Mediated Floral Transition in Plants [PDF]
Blue light (BL) is important in regulating floral transition. In a controlled environment production system, BL can be manipulated easily and precisely in aspects like peak wavelength, intensity, duration, and co-action with other wavelengths.

Epigenetic Regulation of Floral Transition [PDF]
As an emerging field of life science, epigenetics plays a pivotal role in regulating gene expression. Epigenetic modifications including histone modifications, DNA methylation, chromatin remodeling, non-coding RNAs, and RNA modifications (particularly ...

Coordination of shoot apical meristem shape and identity by APETALA2 during floral transition in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Plants flower in response to environmental signals. These signals change the shape and developmental identity of the shoot apical meristem (SAM), causing it to form flowers and inflorescences.

Systematic analyses of the MIR172 family members of Arabidopsis define their distinct roles in regulation of APETALA2 during floral transition. [PDF]
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play important roles in regulating flowering and reproduction of angiosperms. Mature miRNAs are encoded by multiple MIRNA genes that can differ in their spatiotemporal activities and their contributions to gene regulatory networks, but

Verticillium dahliae Secretes Small RNA to Target Host MIR157d and Retard Plant Floral Transition During Infection [PDF]
Bidirectional trans-kingdom RNA silencing [or RNA interference (RNAi)] plays a key role in plant-pathogen interactions. It has been shown that plant hosts export specific endogenous miRNAs into pathogens to inhibit their virulence, whereas pathogens ...

Transcriptomic analysis reveals the regulatory module of apple (Malus × domestica) floral transition in response to 6-BA [PDF]
Background Insufficient production of flower buds is an intractable problem in ‘Fuji’ apple orchards. Although cytokinin (CK) promotes flower bud formation in apple trees, little is known about the mechanisms regulating this phenomenon.

The bZIP transcription factor AREB3 mediates FT signalling and floral transition at the Arabidopsis shoot apical meristem. [PDF]
The floral transition occurs at the shoot apical meristem (SAM) in response to favourable external and internal signals. Among these signals, variations in daylength (photoperiod) act as robust seasonal cues to activate flowering.

FIONA1-Mediated m6 A Modification Regulates the Floral Transition in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) mRNA modification represents the most widespread form of internal modifications in eukaryotic mRNAs. In the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana, those known methyltransferases mainly deposit m6A at their target transcripts near the ...

TEM1 combinatorially binds to FLOWERING LOCUS T and recruits a Polycomb factor to repress the floral transition in Arabidopsis. [PDF]
Significance TEM1 is a flowering repressor that suppresses the expression of FT florigen. However, the specific FT targeting mechanism of TEM1 and the molecular basis for the repression function of TEM1 remain unclear.
