Plants undergo a major physiological change as they transition from vegetative growth to
reproductive development. This transition is a result of responses to various endogenous …

During the course of their life cycles, plants undergo various morphological and
physiological changes underlying juvenile-to-adult and adult-to-flowering phase transitions …

One of the key developmental processes in flowering plants is the differentiation of the shoot
apical meristem into a floral meristem. This transition is regulated through the integration of …

A small mobile protein, encoded by the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) locus, plays a central
role in the control of flowering. FT is regulated positively by CONSTANS (CO), the output of …

Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) is a key regulator of epigenetic states catalyzing
histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3), a repressive chromatin mark. PRC2 …

The capacity to respond to day length, photoperiodism, is crucial for flowering plants to
adapt to seasonal change. The photoperiodic control of flowering in plants is mediated by a …

Flowering time of summer annual Arabidopsis thaliana accessions is largely determined by
the timing of FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) expression in the leaf vasculature. To understand …

Jasmonate signaling plays an important role in both plant defense and development. Here,
we have identified a subunit of the Mediator complex as a regulator of the jasmonate …

In plants the switch from vegetative growth to flowering involves a major transition in the
development of the shoot apex. This transition can occur once, in annual species, or …

In eukaryotes, genetic material is packaged into a dynamic but stable nucleoprotein
structure called chromatin. Post-translational modification of chromatin domains affects the …
