Detailed information about stage-specific changes in gene expression is crucial for the
understanding of the gene regulatory networks underlying development. Here, we describe …

We have used oligonucleotide microarrays to detect Arabidopsis gene expression during
early flower development. Among the 22,746 genes represented on the Affymetrix ATH1 …

We have analyzed the link between the gene regulation and growth during the early stages
of flower development in Arabidopsis. Starting from time-lapse images, we generated a 4D …

Substantial recent advances in genome-scale transcription factor target mapping have
provided a fresh view of the gene networks governing developmental transitions. In …

Floral homeotic transcription factors (TFs) act in a combinatorial manner to specify the organ
identities in the flower. However, the architecture and the function of the gene regulatory …

Flowering time is a key life-history trait in the plant life cycle. Most studies to unravel the
genetics of flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana have been performed under greenhouse …

The onset of flower formation is a key regulatory event during the life cycle of angiosperm
plants, which marks the beginning of the reproductive phase of development. It has been …

Background Floral transition is a critical event in the life cycle of a flowering plant as it
determines its reproductive success. Despite extensive studies of specific genes that …

The availability of the Arabidopsis genome sequence allows for novel approaches in the
analysis of many aspects of plant biology. Approximately 6% of Arabidopsis genes code for …

We have compared the gene expression profiles of inflorescences of the floral homeotic
mutants apetala1, apetala2, apetala3, pistillata, and agamous with that of wild-type plants …
