Macroevolution of Flower Color Patterning: Biased Transition Rates and Correlated Evolution with Flower Size

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
Floral pigmentation patterns can both mediate plant-pollinator interactions and modify the abiotic environment of reproductive structures. To date, there have been no inquiries into the rate and directionality of macroevolutionary transitions between ...

Expression and Functional Analyses of Nymphaea caerulea MADS-Box Genes Contribute to Clarify the Complex Flower Patterning of Water Lilies

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021
Nymphaeaceae are early diverging angiosperms with large flowers characterized by showy petals and stamens not clearly whorled but presenting a gradual morphological transition from the outer elements to the inner stamens.

Isolation of FLOWERING LOCUS C and Preliminary Characterization in the Floral Transition of Xinjiang Precocious Walnut

Horticulturae, 2023
Walnut (Juglans regia L.) plants typically flower after eight to ten years of juvenile growth. Precocious germplasm, also known as early-flowering or early-mature genotypes, have shortened juvenile phases of one to two years and are therefore crucial for

Genome-Wide Characterization of MADS-box Genes Identifies Candidates Associated with Flower and Fruit Development in Loquat (Eriobotrya japonica Lindl.)

Agronomy, 2023
The MADS-box transcription factors have garnered substantial attention due to their crucial involvement in various biological processes, particularly in flower organogenesis. A comprehensive investigation into the MADS-box genes remains lacking in loquat

Effects of Sugar on Vegetative Development and Floral Transition in Arabidopsis [PDF]

Plant Physiology, 2001
AbstractAlthough sugar has been suggested to promote floral transition in many plant species, growth on high concentrations (5% [w/v]) of sucrose (Suc) significantly delayed flowering time, causing an increase in the number of leaves at the time of flowering in Arabidopsis.

Floral Induction and Flower Development of Orchids

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2019
Orchids comprise one of the largest, most highly evolved angiosperm families, and form an extremely peculiar group of plants. Various orchids are available through traditional breeding and micro-propagation since they are valuable as potted plants and/or

Global distribution and evolutionary transitions of floral symmetry in angiosperms

Science Advances, 2023
Floral symmetry plays an important role in plant-pollinator interactions and may have remarkable impacts on angiosperm diversification. However, spatiotemporal patterns in floral symmetry and drivers of these patterns remain unknown. Here, using newly compiled floral symmetry (actinomorphy versus zygomorphy) data of 279,877 angiosperm species and their

Regulation of shoot meristem shape by photoperiodic signaling and phytohormones during floral induction of Arabidopsis

eLife, 2020
Floral transition, the onset of plant reproduction, involves changes in shape and identity of the shoot apical meristem (SAM). The change in shape, termed doming, occurs early during floral transition when it is induced by environmental cues such as ...

Repression of the floral transition via histone H2B monoubiquitination [PDF]

The Plant Journal, 2009
Summary The Rad6‐Bre1 complex monoubiquitinates histone H2B in target gene chromatin, and plays an important role in positively regulating gene expression in yeast. Here, we show that the Arabidopsis relatives of the yeast Rad6, ubiquitin‐conjugating enzyme 1 (UBC1) and UBC2, redundantly mediate histone H2B ...

TM3 and STM3 Promote Flowering Together with FUL2 and MBP20, but Act Antagonistically in Inflorescence Branching in Tomato

Plants, 2023
The moment at which a plant transitions to reproductive development is paramount to its life cycle and is strictly controlled by many genes. The transcription factor SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS 1 (SOC1) plays a central role in this process ...
