Plants respond to the changing seasons to initiate developmental programmes precisely at
particular times of year. Flowering is the best characterized of these seasonal responses …

Members of the MADS-box transcription factor family play essential roles in almost every
developmental process in plants. Many MADS-box genes have conserved functions across …

Correct developmental timing is essential for plant fitness and reproductive success. Two
important transitions in shoot development—the juvenile-to-adult vegetative transition and …

Biotic and abiotic stresses limit agricultural yields, and plants are often simultaneously
exposed to multiple stresses. Combinations of stresses such as heat and drought or cold …

In the past two decades, members of the SQUAMOSA-PROMOTER BINDING PROTEIN-
LIKE (SPL) family of transcription factors, first identified in Antirrhinum majus, have emerged …

Precise flowering time is critical to reproductive success. In response to diverse exogenous
and endogenous cues including age, hormones, photoperiod, and temperature, the floral …

Gibberellin (GA), a diterpene hormone, plays diverse roles in plant growth and development,
including seed germination, stem elongation, and flowering time. Although it is known that …

Many plants synchronize their life cycles in response to changing seasons and initiate
flowering under favourable environmental conditions to ensure reproductive success. To …

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

In plants, the transition to reproductive growth is of particular importance for successful seed
production. Transformation of the shoot apical meristem (SAM) to the inflorescence meristem …
