Transforming crop simulation models into gene-based models
Dynamic crop simulation models can be transformed into gene-based models by replacing an existing process module with a gene-based module for simulating the same process.

Climate change will scramble the biological clock of the forest floor
Plants react to a combination of changes in temperature and water availability in different ways.
A step to the biofuels of the future?
Compiling a genome of an Asian grass is already producing useful results for breeding.
V-Mango model: an intricate 3D simulation of the King of Fruits
The computer-modelled mangoes could identify when their real-life counterparts were most at risk from mango blossom gall midge.

Candidate gene identification in perennial ryegrass
Lolium perenne (perennial ryegrass) is the most widely cultivated forage and amenity grass species in temperate areas worldwide and there is a need to understand the genetic architectures of key agricultural traits and...

What is photoperiodically regulated in Arabidopsis lyrata?
The photoperiod is the period of time that a plant receives light each day. The photoperiod matters to a plant as it contains information about the progress of seasons. Plants use the changing photoperiod as a cue for...
Genetic inhibition of flowering differs between juvenile and adult Citrus trees
In woody species, the juvenile period maintains the axillary meristems in a vegetative stage, unable to flower, for several years. However, in adult trees, some 1-year-old meristems flower whereas others remain...
Ghost orchid symbiotic seed germination
Successful orchid germination, embryo development and seedling establishment require the presence of mycorrhizal fungi. However, little is known about the orchid seed germination niche requirements in situ, especially...

Variation of flowering and pseudovivipary in Poa
Pseudovivipary is an intriguing asexual reproduction trait in which plantlets and bulbils develop instead of normal florets. Ofir and Kigel study inter-annual and intra-clonal stability of flowering and pseudovivipary...
Cold hardiness of Brachypodium distachyon accessions
Cold treatment accelerates the transition from the vegetative to the reproductive phase in seven Brachypodium distachyon accessions.
Water deficit effects on structure of proleptic and epicormic shoots
The effects of plant water status on axillary meristem fate and flowering patterns along proleptic and epicormic shoots of almond trees, Prunus dulcis.
Temperature: getting it right
Have we been measuring temperature incorrectly all along?

Flower Development: a Special Issue of Annals of Botany
In the early 1990s, genetic studies performed in parallel in the distantly related eudicot species Arabidopsis thaliana and Antirrhinum majus led to the unifying and now widely known “ABC model” for the definition of...
