Plant biological processes, such as growth and metabolism, hormone signal transduction,
and stress responses, are affected by gene transcriptional regulation. As gene expression …

Recognized as a pivotal developmental transition, flowering marks the continuation of a
plant's life cycle. Vernalization and photoperiod are two major flowering pathways …

Calmodulin‐like proteins (CMLs) are one of the Ca2+ sensors in plants, but the functions of
most CMLs remain unknown. The regulation of cold tolerance and flowering time by …

PSEUDO-RESPONSE REGULATORs (PRRs) play key roles in the circadian rhythms and
flowering in plants. Here, we identified the four members of the PRR family in Medicago …

DNA-binding with one finger (Dof) proteins comprise a large family that play central roles in
stress tolerance by regulating the expression of stress-responsive genes via the DOFCORE …

Flowering of the reference legume Medicago truncatula is promoted by winter cold
(vernalization) followed by long‐day photoperiods (VLD) similar to winter annual …

Regulation of floral transition and inflorescence development is crucial for plant reproductive
success. FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) is one of the central players in the flowering genetic …

Background Flowering time is an important trait for productivity in legumes, which include
many food and fodder plants. Medicago truncatula (Medicago) is a model temperate legume …

LUX ARRHYTHMO (LUX) plays a key role in circadian rhythms and flowering. Here, we
identified the MtLUX gene which is the putative ortholog of LUX in Medicago truncatula. The …

Legumes, characterized by their ability to form symbiotic relationships with nitrogen‐fixing
bacteria, play crucial roles in agriculture, ecology and human nutrition …
