Vernalization: Spring into Flowering [PDF]

open access: yesDevelopmental Cell, 2006
Polycomb group protein (PcG) complexes mediate epigenetic processes in plants as well as in animals. We discuss recent progress in understanding the varied roles that Polycomb complexes play in the epigenetic control of vernalization-the promotion of flowering by extended exposure to low temperature.

Within-individual phenotypic plasticity in flowers fosters pollination niche shift

open access: yesNature Communications, 2020
Floral phenotypes impact interactions between plants and pollinators. Here, the authors show that Moricandia arvensis displays discrete seasonal plasticity in floral phenotype, with large, lilac flowers attracting long-tongued bees in spring and small ...

Flowering and fruiting responses to climate change of two Arctic plant species, purple saxifrage (Saxifraga oppositifolia) and mountain avens (Dryas integrifolia)

open access: yesArctic Science, 2015
In temperate regions, there are clear indications that spring flowering plants are flowering earlier due to rising temperatures of contemporary climate change. Temperatures in temperate regions are rising predominantly in spring.
