Starch commands a central role in the carbon budget of the majority of plants on earth, and
its biological role changes during development and in response to the environment …

Many plants use information about changing day length (photoperiod) to align their
flowering time with seasonal changes to increase reproductive success. A mechanism for …

Rye is a valuable food and forage crop, an important genetic resource for wheat and triticale
improvement and an indispensable material for efficient comparative genomic studies in …

In plant development, the flowering transition and inflorescence architecture are modulated
by two homologous proteins, FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) and TERMINAL FLOWER 1 …

The three most important agronomic traits of rice (Oryza sativa), yield, plant height, and
flowering time, are controlled by many quantitative trait loci (QTLs). In this study, a newly …

Success of modern agriculture relies heavily on breeding of crops with maximal regional
adaptability and yield potentials. A major limiting factor for crop cultivation is their flowering …

Heading date and photoperiod sensitivity are fundamental traits that determine rice
adaptation to a wide range of geographic environments. By quantitative trait locus (QTL) …

DELLA protein is a key negative regulator of gibberellin (GA) signaling. Although how
DELLA regulates downstream gene expression remains unclear, DELLA has been …

Optimal flowering time is critical to the success of modern agriculture. Sorghum is a short-
day tropical species that exhibits substantial photoperiod sensitivity and delayed flowering in …

Although some genes that encode sensory or regulatory elements for photoperiodic
flowering are conserved between the long-day (LD) plant Arabidopsis thaliana and the short …
