Our understanding of the detailed molecular mechanisms underpinning adaptation is still
poor. One example for which mechanistic understanding of regulation has converged with …

The transition from vegetative to reproductive growth is controlled by day length in many
plant species. Day length is perceived in leaves and induces a systemic signal, called …

Light-emitting diode (LED) technology has rapidly advanced the past years and it is
nowadays irrevocably linked with controlled-environment agriculture (CEA). We provide …

Flowering is a hot topic in Plant Biology and important progress has been made in
Arabidopsis thaliana toward unraveling the genetic networks involved. The increasing …

Winter-annual ecotypes of Arabidopsis are relatively late flowering, unless the flowering of
these ecotypes is promoted by exposure to cold (vernalization). This vernalization …

In plants, flowering is triggered by endogenous and environmental signals. CONSTANS
(CO) promotes flowering of Arabidopsis in response to day length. Four early target genes of …

Flowering in Arabidopsis is promoted via several interacting pathways. A photoperiod-
dependent pathway relays signals from photoreceptors to a transcription factor gene …

Heading date 3a (Hd3a) has been detected as a heading-date-related quantitative trait
locus in a cross between rice cultivars Nipponbare and Kasalath. A previous study revealed …

We further investigated the role of the Arabidopsis CBF regulatory genes in cold acclimation,
the process whereby certain plants increase in freezing tolerance upon exposure to low …

In this study, the effects of green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with different peak
wavelengths and light intensities on lettuce growth and photosynthesis were evaluated. The …
