Flowers and Flowering

open access: yesTrends in Ecology & Evolution, 2009
In the Epilogue of Understanding Flowers and Flowering, Beverley Glover states that the book ‘was conceived with a single clear aim: to link what we know of the molecular and genetic control of how flowers come to look as they do with what we know from evolutionary and ecological perspectives about why they look as they do.’ This is an ambitious ...

Direct and indirect selection on flowering time, water-use efficiency (WUE, δ (13)C), and WUE plasticity to drought in Arabidopsis thaliana. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Flowering time and water-use efficiency (WUE) are two ecological traits that are important for plant drought response. To understand the evolutionary significance of natural genetic variation in flowering time, WUE, and WUE plasticity to drought in ...

The next widespread bamboo flowering poses a massive risk to the giant panda [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The IUCN Red List has downgraded several species from “endangered” to “vulnerable” that still have largely unknown extinction risks. We consider one of those downgraded species, the giant panda, a bamboo specialist.

Low nitrogen conditions accelerate flowering by modulating the phosphorylation state of FLOWERING BHLH 4 in Arabidopsis

open access: yesProceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2021
Significance Nitrogen availability has a large impact on plant biomass and crop production. Both depletion and excessive application of nitrogen affect crop yields and quality and disturb important ecosystems.

On the characterization of flowering curves using Gaussian mixture models [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper, we develop a statistical methodology applied to the characterization of flowering curves using Gaussian mixture models. Our study relies on a set of rosebushes flowering data, and Gaussian mixture models are mainly used to quantify the ...

Heat stress during flowering in cereals - effects and adaptation strategies.

open access: yesNew Phytologist, 2020
Heat stress during flowering has differential impact on male and female reproductive organs viability leading to yield losses in field crops. Unlike flooded rice, dryland cereals such as sorghum, pearl millet and wheat have optimized their flower opening

Pathotypes of Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. dieffenbachiae Isolated from Anthurium andraeanum in China

open access: yesPathogens, 2018
Anthurium blight, caused by Xanthomonas axonopodis pv. dieffenbachiae (Xad), is one of the most serious diseases of Anthurium andraeanum. However, little is known about variations in virulence between Xad pathotypes. Here, we examined the virulence of 68

Suboptimal light conditions influence source-sink metabolism during flowering [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Reliance on carbohydrates during flower forcing was investigated in one early and one late flowering cultivar of azalea (Rhododendron simsii hybrids).

Performance of 'Emerald' and 'Jewel' blueberry cultivars under no-chill incidence

open access: yesPesquisa Agropecuária Tropical, 2018
Climate is a limiting factor for cultivating blueberries in new areas in Brazil, being the commercial production restricted only to the colder and high-altitude regions of the southern states.

Regulation and Identity of Florigen: Flowering Locus T Moves Center Stage [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The transition from vegetative to reproductive growth is controlled by day length in many plant species. Day length is perceived in leaves and induces a systemic signal, called florigen, that moves through the phloem to the shoot apex.
