Trees growing in boreal and temperate regions synchronize their growth with seasonal
climatic changes in adaptive responses that are essential for their survival. These trees …

In tree species native to temperate and boreal regions, the activity‐dormancy cycle is an
important adaptive trait both for survival and growth. We discuss recent research on …

For the 75th Anniversary Issue of Plant Physiology, I contributed an article (Thomashow,
2001) in which I highlighted recent advances in the identification of genes with roles in cold …

Dormancy is the mechanism that plants use to protect sensitive tissue from unfavourable
climatic conditions. In a changing global environment, temperate fruit crop adaptation might …

The circadian clock regulates diverse aspects of plant growth and development and
promotes plant fitness. Molecular identification of clock components, primarily in …

A key feature of the perennial life style in plants is the ability to cease meristem activity and
to establish a dormant state in which the meristem is rendered insensitive to growth …

Alternative splicing plays crucial roles by influencing the diversity of the transcriptome and
proteome and regulating protein structure/function and gene expression. It is widespread in …

Plants can show remarkable responses to small changes in temperature, yet one of the
great unknowns in plant science is how that temperature signal is perceived. The identity of …

The circadian clock synchronizes biological processes to daily cycles of light and
temperature. Clock components, including CIRCADIAN CLOCK-ASSOCIATED1 (CCA1), are …

The timing of floral transition has a direct impact on reproductive success. One of the most
important environmental factors that affect the transition is the change in day length …
