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...
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...
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...
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 Stem lignification and resulting reduced digestibility of forage grasses is thought to be associated with the transition of apices to the reproductive...
