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]
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]
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.

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

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