Flowering is one of the most critical developmental transitions in plants' life. The irreversible
change from the vegetative to the reproductive stage is strictly controlled to ensure the …

TERMINAL FLOWER1 (TFL1) was named from knockout Arabidopsis thaliana mutants in
which the inflorescence abnormally terminates into a flower. In wild type plants, the …

Background Brassica oleracea includes several morphologically diverse, economically
important vegetable crops, such as the cauliflower and cabbage. However, genetic variants …

Throughout development, plant meristems regularly produce organs in defined spiral,
opposite, or whorl patterns. Cauliflowers present an unusual organ arrangement with a …

Purpose: We put forward a theoretical and dynamical approach for the semi-quantitative
analysis of CD4+ T cell differentiation, the process by which cells with different functions are …

Highlights•Flower development requires de novo formation of a stem cell niche.•Auxin and
cytokinin signaling interact to trigger emergence of floral meristems.•Meristem growth and …

Alternative splicing (AS) is an important regulatory mode at the post‐transcriptional level,
through which many flowering genes regulate floral transition by producing multiple …

Shortening the juvenile stage in citrus and inducing early flowering has been the focus of
several citrus genetic improvement programs. FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) is a small phloem …

Plant growth is largely post‐embryonic and depends on meristems that are active
throughout the lifespan of an individual. Developmental patterns rely on the coordinated …

Abstract FOREVER YOUNG FLOWER (FYF) has been reported to play an important role in
regulating flower senescence/abscission. Here, we functionally analyzed five Arabidopsis …
