RNA-Seq Analysis of Gene Expression Changes Related to Delay of Flowering Time under Drought Stress in Tropical Maize [PDF]
Applied Sciences, 2021 Few studies have reported on the flowering time mechanism of tropical maize under short-day conditions. Drought, another important factor that affects flowering time, has been reported to delay the silking date in tropical maize. However, due to the lack

Characterization of genes associated with TGA7 during the floral transition
BMC Plant Biology, 2021 Background The TGACG-binding (TGA) family has 10 members that play vital roles in Arabidopsis thaliana defense responses and development. However, their involvement in controlling flowering time remains largely unknown and requires further investigation.

Plant Physiology, 2010 The initiation of flowering is a critical life-history trait; plants have presumably evolved to flower at a time of year that ensures maximal reproductive success in a given region. Decades of physiological studies have revealed that flowering is initiated in response to both environmental cues ...

EjRAV1/2 Delay Flowering Through Transcriptional Repression of EjFTs and EjSOC1s in Loquat
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2021 Most species in Rosaceae usually need to undergo several years of juvenile phase before the initiation of flowering. After 4–6 years’ juvenile phase, cultivated loquat (Eriobotrya japonica), a species in Rosaceae, enters the reproductive phase, blooms in

Optimization of Tomato Productivity Using Flowering Time Variants
Agronomy, 2021 The control of flowering time is a major contributing factor to the improvement of crop yield by optimizing plant growth in a crop cycle. Genetic variants that determine flowering time can provide insights into optimizing flowering time for higher yields

BRR2a Affects Flowering Time via FLC Splicing. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2016 Several pathways control time to flowering in Arabidopsis thaliana through transcriptional and posttranscriptional gene regulation. In recent years, mRNA processing has gained interest as a critical regulator of flowering time control in plants. However,

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

Expression profiles of five FT-like genes and functional analysis of PhFT-1 in a Phalaenopsis hybrid
Electronic Journal of Biotechnology, 2018 Background: Phalaenopsis is an important ornamental flowering plant that belongs to the Orchidaceae family and is cultivated worldwide. Phalaenopsis has a long juvenile phase; therefore, it is important to understand the genetic elements regulating the ...
