Molecular Regulation of Flowering Time in Grasses
Flowering time is a key target trait for extending the vegetative phase to increase biomass in bioenergy crops such as perennial C4 grasses. Molecular genetic studies allow the identification of genes involved in the control of flowering in different ...

The control of flowering in time and space [PDF]
The transition to flowering is one of the most important developmental decisions made by plants. Classical studies have highlighted the importance of photoperiod in controlling flowering time. More recently, the identification of mutants specifically affected in the photoperiod pathway in the model system Arabidopsis thaliana has enabled the flowering ...

The transcriptional repressor complex FRS7-FRS12 regulates flowering time and growth in Arabidopsis [PDF]
Most living organisms developed systems to efficiently time environmental changes. The plant-clock acts in coordination with external signals to generate output responses determining seasonal growth and flowering time.

Genetic and Epigenetic Understanding of the Seasonal Timing of Flowering
The developmental transition to flowering in many plants is timed by changing seasons, which enables plants to flower at a season that is favorable for seed production. Many plants grown at high latitudes perceive the seasonal cues of changing day length

Flowering phenology in a species-rich temperate grassland is sensitive to warming but not elevated CO2 [PDF]
Flowering is a critical stage in plant life cycles, and changes might alter processes at the species, community and ecosystem levels. Therefore likely flowering-time responses to global change drivers are needed for predictions of global change impacts ...

Chemical control of flowering time [PDF]
Flowering at the right time is of great importance; it secures seed production and therefore species survival and crop yield. In addition to the genetic network controlling flowering time, there are a number of much less studied metabolites and exogenously applied chemicals that may influence the transition to flowering as well as flower opening ...

Conservation of Arabidopsis thaliana photoperiodic flowering time genes in onion (Allium cepa L.) [PDF]
The genetics underlying onion development is poorly understood. Here the characterisation of onion homologues of Arabidopsis photoperiodic flowering pathway genes is reported with the end goal of accelerating onion breeding programmes by understanding ...

Flowering time control in European winter wheat
Flowering time is an important trait in wheat breeding as it affects adaptation and yield potential. The aim of this study was to investigate the genetic architecture of flowering time in European winter bread wheat cultivars. To this end a population of

Delayed chilling appears to counteract flowering advances of apricot in southern UK [PDF]
Temperatures are rising across the globe, and the UK is no exception. Spring phenology of perennial fruit crops is to a large extent determined by temperature during effective chilling (endo-dormancy) and heat accumulation (eco-dormancy) periods.
