Plant growth and development, particularly the induction of flowering, are tightly controlled
by key regulators in response to endogenous and environmental cues. The FLOWERING …

TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1) was named from knockout Arabidopsis thaliana mutants in
which the inflorescence abnormally terminates into a flower. In wild type plants, the …

Crops tolerant to drought and salt stress may be developed by two approaches. First, major
crops may be improved by introducing genes from tolerant plants. For example, many major …

Flavonoids play critical roles in plant responses to various stresses. Few studies have been
reported on what the mechanism of activating flavonoid biosynthesis in plant responses to …

The recent completion of the rose genome sequence is not the end of a process, but rather a
starting point that opens up a whole set of new and exciting activities. Next to a high-quality …

Salinity is a universal environmental stress that causes yield reduction in plants. WRKY33,
which has been extensively studied in plant defense against necrotrophic pathogens, has …

Plant architecture is central in determining crop yield. In the short‐day species strawberry, a
crop vegetatively propagated by daughter‐plants produced by stolons, fruit yield is further …

Flavonoids and lignin consist of a large number of secondary metabolites which are derived
from the phenylpropanoid pathway, and they act as a significant role in plant growth …

The nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) is a class of heterotrimeric transcription factors comprising three
subunits: NF-YA, NF-YB, and NF-YC. These transcription factors participate in many plant …

Dendrobium is a semi-shade epiphytic Orchidaceae herb with important ornamental and
medicinal value. Parts of the cultivation of Dendrobium germplasm resources, as well as the …
