Genetic interactions that promote the floral transition inArabidopsis [PDF]
The transition from vegetative to reproductive development is marked by the establishment of the floral developmental program in the lateral primordia formed by the shoot apical meristem. This is achieved by the coordinate activation, in these primordia, of a set of genes that regulate floral initiation.

The impact of chromatin regulation on the floral transition [PDF]
Transcription in eukaryotes is regulated by many enzymes that influence the nuclear organization of DNA in chromatin. Several of these enzymes regulate histone modifications. These modifications function as a platform for assembly of protein complexes that influence chromatin structure.

A gibberellin-assisted study of the transcriptional and hormonal changes occurring at floral transition in peach buds (Prunus persica L. Batsch) [PDF]
Background 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]
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]
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.

Integrated Analysis of microRNAs and Transcription Factor Targets in Floral Transition of Pleioblastus pygmaeus [PDF]
Bamboo 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.

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 ...

Photoperiod response and floral transition in sorghum. [PDF]
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 ...

Dynamics of DNA methylation and Histone H4 acetylation during floral bud differentiation in azalea [PDF]
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.
