Phylogeny and expression analyses reveal important roles for plant PKS III family during the conquest of land by plants and angiosperm diversification

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016
Polyketide synthases (PKSs) utilize the products of primary metabolism to synthesize a wide array of secondary metabolites in both prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms. PKSs can be grouped into three distinct classes, type I, II, and III, based on enzyme

The Timing of Flowering [PDF]

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 ...
