It has been 20 years since Brachypodium distachyon was suggested as a model grass
species, but ongoing research now encompasses the entire genus. Extensive …

The photoperiodic response is critical for plants to adjust their reproductive phase to the
most favorable season. Wheat heads earlier under long days (LD) than under short days …

Stem growth habit dictates plant architecture and influences flowering and podding (seed
setting), making it an essential morphological and breeding agronomic trait of soybean …

Daylength sensing in many plants is critical for coordinating the timing of flowering with the
appropriate season. Temperate climate-adapted grasses such as Brachypodium distachyon …

The transition to flowering is a major developmental switch in plants. In many temperate
grasses, perception of indicators of seasonal change, such as changing day-length and …

Cadmium contamination poses severe environmental and health threats, necessitating
effective mitigation strategies. Rice husk biochar (BC) and nanoparticle (NP) treatments are …

In Arabidopsis, CONSTANS (CO) integrates light and circadian clock signals to promote
flowering under long days (LD). In the grasses, a duplication generated two paralogs …

Summary FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT), a florigen in Arabidopsis, plays critical roles in floral
transition. Among 13 FT‐like members in rice, OsFTL2 (Hd3a) and OsFTL3 (RFT1), two rice …

Abstract FLOWERING PROMOTING FACTOR1 (FPF1), a small protein without any known
domains, promotes flowering in several plants; however, its functional mechanism remains …

To cope with environmental stresses and ensure maximal reproductive success, plants have
developed strategies to adjust the timing of their transition to reproductive growth. This has a …
