Wheat TILLING Mutants Show That the Vernalization Gene VRN1 Down-Regulates the Flowering Repressor VRN2 in Leaves but Is Not Essential for Flowering [PDF]
Most of the natural variation in wheat vernalization response is determined by allelic differences in the MADS-box transcription factor VERNALIZATION1 (VRN1). Extended exposures to low temperatures during the winter (vernalization) induce VRN1 expression

Pangenome insights into structural variation and functional diversification of barley CCT motif genes [PDF]
CONSTANS, CONSTANS‐LIKE, TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION1 (CCT) motif genes play a key role in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) development and flowering, yet their genetic diversity remains underexplored.

Post-Translational Control of TaFT1 by WAPO1 Ubiquitination Shapes Spike Architecture and Yield in Wheat. [PDF]
ABSTRACT The florigen protein TaFT1 coordinately regulates heading time and spikelet number per spike (SNS), serving as a key yield determinant in wheat. However, how its stability is post‐translationally controlled in the shoot apical meristem remains unclear.

Genomic and Physiological Insights Into Heat-Drought Tolerance in Wheat Through GWAS and Phenotypic Evaluation. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Climate change‐driven heat and drought stresses during reproductive stages significantly threaten wheat productivity. To investigate the genetic and physiological basis of combined heat–drought (HD) tolerance, we evaluated 345 wheat genotypes under three environments of HD stresses, non‐stress glasshouse conditions and a late‐sowing field ...

VERNALIZATION2 alters early tiller development in a facultative spring hexaploid bread wheat. [PDF]
Summary An extended period of cold exposure enables the process of vernalization in winter cereals and is important for the synchronised timing of the floral transition. The cereal‐specific floral repressor VERNALIZATION2 (VRN2) has an integral role in vernalization, yet this locus remains poorly characterised in facultative spring hexaploid wheat ...

Targets and mechanisms of epigenetic regulation in the temperate cereal vernalisation process [PDF]
Vernalisation is a prolonged cold exposure that synchronises flowering with favourable seasonal conditions, protecting reproductive development from winter stress and optimising crop yields.

MicroRNA156 and its targeted SPL genes interact with the photoperiod, vernalization, and gibberellin pathways to regulate wheat heading time. [PDF]
SUMMARY Heading time has a large impact on adaptation to different environments and crop productivity. In this study, we characterized the effect of the endogenous age pathway on heading time and its interactions with the photoperiod and vernalization pathways in the leaves of tetraploid wheat (Triticum turgidum ssp. durum).

Molecular-physiological model integration revolutionizes cereal flowering prediction. [PDF]
Summary Rapid prediction and control of flowering time is essential for breeding crops resilient to changing climates. Current models often fail to predict flowering time in new cultivars because molecular models lack integration of environmental signals, while physiological models inadequately capture the interactions of vernalization, photoperiod and

O-GlcNAc and phosphorylation modifications on HtL1/FBA10 regulate wheat vernalization for flowering [PDF]
Vernalization-regulated flowering is vital for wheat yield and geographical distribution, and the diversity of flowering time genes is essential for the breeding of climate-resilient varieties.
