The timing of flowering is determined by endogenous genetic components as well as
various environmental factors, such as day length, temperature, and stress. The genetic …

Precise timing of flowering in plants is critical for their growth and reproductive processes.
One factor controlling flowering time is the cycle of light and darkness within a day, known as …

Heading date (or flowering time) is one of the most important agronomic traits in rice,
influencing its regional adaptability and crop yield. Many major-effect genes for rice heading …

Phytochromes are sensory photoreceptors associated with the photomorphogenesis of
plants. Rice has 3 phytochromes (phy); phyA, phyB and phyC. To understand the role of …

Background Photoperiod sensitivity is among the most important agronomic traits of rice, as
it determines local and seasonal adaptability and plays pivotal roles in determining yield …

Studies on the toxicity of micro-and nanomaterials in plants have primarily focused on their
intrinsic effects. However, there is often oversight when considering the potential perceptual …

The circadian clock, known as an endogenous timekeeping system, can integrate various
cues to regulate plant physiological functions for adapting to the changing environment and …

Flowering time is of great significance for crop reproduction, yield, and regional adaptability,
which is intricately regulated by various environmental cues and endogenous signals …

Under long day (LD) lengths, flowering can be delayed in rice by modulating several
regulatory genes. We found activation tagging lines that showed an early flowering …

If there was no gene interaction, the gene aggregation effect would increase infinitely with
the increase of gene number. Epistasis avoids the endless accumulation of gene effects …
