As a plant shoot develops, it produces different types of leaves, buds, and internodes, and
eventually acquires the capacity to produce structures involved in sexual reproduction …

The presence of neighboring vegetation modifies the light environment experienced by
plants, generating signals that are perceived by phytochromes and cryptochromes. These …

In response to competition for light from their neighbors, shade-intolerant plants flower
precociously to ensure reproductive success and survival. However, the molecular …

Crop management decisions such as sowing density, row distance and orientation, choice
of cultivar, and weed control define the architecture of the canopy, which in turn affects the …

Sorghum Ma6, a strong repressor of flowering in long days (LDs), was identified as the
CONSTANS, CO‐like, and TOC1 (CCT)‐domain protein encoded by SbGhd7. Sorghum …

Two aspects of light are very important for plant development: the length of the light phase or
photoperiod and the quality of incoming light. Photoperiod detection allows plants to …

Long days (LD) promote flowering of Arabidopsis thaliana compared with short days (SD) by
activating the photoperiodic pathway. Here we show that growth under very‐SD (3 h) or …

Plant trichomes formed by specialized epidermal cells play a role in protecting plants from
biotic and abiotic stresses and can also influence the economic and ornamental value of …

Variations in magnetic field (MF) intensity are known to induce plant morphological and
gene expression changes. In Arabidopsis thaliana Col‐0, near‐null magnetic field (NNMF …

Background Methylation at arginine residues (R) is an important post-translational
modification that regulates a myriad of essential cellular processes in eukaryotes, such as …
