Dynamics of DNA methylation and Histone H4 acetylation during floral bud differentiation in azalea [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2010 Background The ability to control the timing of flowering is a key strategy for planning production in ornamental species such as azalea, however it requires a thorough understanding of floral transition.

A gibberellin-assisted study of the transcriptional and hormonal changes occurring at floral transition in peach buds (Prunus persica L. Batsch) [PDF]
BMC Plant BiologyBackground Flower load in peach is an important determinant of final fruit quality and is subjected to cost-effective agronomical practices, such as the thinning, to finely balance the sink-source relationships within the tree and drive the optimal ...

Systematic analyses of the MIR172 family members of Arabidopsis define their distinct roles in regulation of APETALA2 during floral transition. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2021 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

Coordination of shoot apical meristem shape and identity by APETALA2 during floral transition in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Nature CommunicationsPlants 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.

Verticillium dahliae Secretes Small RNA to Target Host MIR157d and Retard Plant Floral Transition During Infection [PDF]
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2022 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 ...

Integrated Analysis of microRNAs and Transcription Factor Targets in Floral Transition of Pleioblastus pygmaeus [PDF]
PlantsBamboo plants have erratic flowering habits with a long vegetative growth and an uncertain flowering cycle. The process of floral transition has always been one of the hot and intriguing topics in bamboo developmental biology.

Photoperiod response and floral transition in sorghum. [PDF]
Plant Signal Behav, 2016 Sorghum is a short day plant with strong photoperiod response and its cultivation for grain in temperate regions necessitated the development of photoperiod insensitive mutants that can flower rapidly in the long days of summer. Wild type genotypes grow vegetatively in summer accumulating significant biomass before floral transition ensues during the ...

Characterization of MADS-Box Gene Family in Isatis indigotica and Functional Study of IiAP1 in Regulating Floral Transition and Formation [PDF]
PlantsIn flowering plants, MADS-box genes play regulatory roles in flower induction, floral initiation, and floral morphogenesis. Isatis indigotica (I. indigotica) is a traditional Chinese medicinal plant.

Transcriptomic analysis reveals the regulatory module of apple (Malus × domestica) floral transition in response to 6-BA [PDF]
BMC Plant Biology, 2019 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.
