Scientists have discovered that the reason why some radish plants take longer to flower than others is that different copies of certain genes that control flowering time, can interact in complicated ways with each...

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...

Flowering and morphology responses to high latitudes
Timing of flowering is an adaptive trait regulated by environmental cues and has been intensively studied in annual plants, but in perennials it is currently not well characterized. Quilot-Turion et al. apply cold...
Some Like It Cold
In addition to crop management, understanding vernalization could be used to identify plant communities at risk from climate change.
Juvenility and flowering of Brunonia and Calandrinia
The time at which plants are transferred to floral-inductive conditions affects the onset of flowering and plant morphology, due to juvenility. Cave et al. show that Australian ephemeral species Brunonia australis and...
Vernalization, stem lignification and floral transition in Phleum
Vernalization, stem lignification and floral transition in Phleum Stem lignification and resulting reduced digestibility of forage grasses is thought to be associated with the transition of apices to the reproductive...
