The initiation of flowering in cereals is a critical process influenced by environmental and
endogenous signals. Flowering Locus T-like (FT-like) genes encode the main signals for …

Rice is the most consumed food crop and essential determinant in global food security
program. Currently, arsenic (As) accumulation in rice is a critical concern in terms of both …

Background Floral transition initiates reproductive development of plants and occurs in
response to environmental and endogenous signals. In Arabidopsis thaliana, this process is …

Adaptation of temperate japonica rice varieties to tropical regions is impeded by extremely
early flowering probably due to photoperiod change from long to short. However, constant …

RICE FLOWERING LOCUS T 1 (RFT1) is a major florigen that functions to induce
reproductive development in the shoot apical meristem (SAM). To further our study of RFT1 …

Indoor vertical farming is currently a breakthrough horticultural production system. However,
for fruit bearing crops such as strawberry, a major challenge is optimizing light spectral …

Abstract Development of lateral buds on the underground rhizome in moso bamboo is
essentially the early stage of the development of aboveground branching, which is regulated …

Background Floral transition in cereals is a critical phenomenon influenced by exogenous
and endogenous signals, determining crop yield and reproduction. Flowering Locus T-like …

Cereal grain endosperms are an important source of human nutrition. Nuclear division in
early endosperm development plays a major role in determining seed size; however, this …

Plants utilize environmental information to modify their developmental trajectories for optimal
survival and reproduction. Over a century ago, day length (photoperiod) was identified as a …
