Floral transition mutants in Arabidopsis

Plant, Cell & Environment, 1997
ABSTRACTAn inventory of genetic differences in flowering time in Arabidopsis is presented and discussed. Many genes influence the transition to flowering in a quantitative way. Two groups of mutants and natural variants can be distinguished: those that are responsive to environmental factors and those that are less responsive or unresponsive.

Developmental states associated with the floral transition

Developmental Biology, 1992
Floral initiation can be analyzed from a developmental perspective by focusing upon how developmental fates are imprinted, remembered, and expressed. This is not an altogether new perspective, since people studying flowering have been concerned for a long time with the commitment of meristems to form flowers and the morphological, cellular, and ...

Floral transition in lisianthus (Eustoma grandiflorum)

Scientia Horticulturae, 2002
Abstract Floral transition was studied in lisianthus [Eustoma grandiflorum (Raf.) Shinn.] plants grown in a greenhouse at two planting times (winter and summer) under two photoperiod regimes: long day (LD) and short day (SD), 16 h/8 h and 8 h/16 h (light/dark), respectively.

ABA and the Floral Transition

2014
Plants use endogenous and environmental cues to trigger flowering. While variations in day length and temperature play a major role in controlling the transition to flowering, little is known about water stress-derived signals. Drought conditions cause early flowering in various plant species.

Molecular control and variation in the floral transition

Current Opinion in Plant Biology, 2002
The common controls that are involved in both vegetative and floral development are becoming apparent at the molecular level. Intriguing links are also emerging between developmental events during the juvenile/adult and floral transitions. This progress has made it possible to test the annual model of floral transition in a wide range of plant species,

The Maize Floral Transition

2009
The floral transition is a critical developmental change in a plant's life cycle that is marked by the switch from vegetative to reproductive growth. The transition is induced by leaf-derived signals that translocate through the phloem to the shoot apex where the shoot apical meristem is reprogrammed to adopt a floral fate.

Nitric Oxide Represses the Arabidopsis Floral Transition

Science, 2004
The correct timing of flowering is essential for plants to maximize reproductive success and is controlled by environmental and endogenous signals. We report that nitric oxide (NO) repressed the floral transition in Arabidopsis thaliana .

Evolutionary Transitions in Floral Color

International Journal of Plant Sciences, 2008
The tremendous diversity in flower color among angiosperms implies that there have been numerous evolutionary transitions in this character. The conventional wisdom is that a large proportion of these transitions reflect adaptation to novel pollinator regimes.

Control of floral transition in the bioenergy crop switchgrass

Plant, Cell & Environment, 2016
AbstractSwitchgrass (Panicum virgatum L.), a perennial warm season bunchgrass native to North America, has been a target in the U.S. as a renewable bioenergy crop because of its ability to produce moderate to high biomass yield on marginal soils. Delaying flowering can increase vegetative biomass production by allowing prolonged growth before switching

Environmental-Dependent Acceleration of a Developmental Switch: The Floral Transition

Science Signaling, 2000
The transition from vegetative growth to reproductive growth in plants in which flowers are produced requires the activation of specific genes. Simpson and Dean discuss two recent reports that characterize the FLOWERING LOCUS T ( FT ) gene in Arabidopsis , which is ...
