The genus Brassica belongs to the plant family Brassicaceae, which includes many
important crop species that are used as oilseed, condiments, or vegetables throughout the …

MADS-box genes are key regulators of virtually every aspect of plant reproductive
development. They play especially prominent roles in flowering time control, inflorescence …

There is an increasing awareness that as a result of structural variation, a reference
sequence representing a genome of a single individual is unable to capture all of the gene …

Global warming has a severe impact on the flowering time and yield of crops. Histone
modifications have been well-documented for their roles in enabling plant plasticity in …

Abstract Analysis of how seasonal cues influence the timing of the floral transition has
revealed many important principles for how epigenetic regulation can integrate a variety of …

Flowering and seed set are essential for plant species to survive, hence plants need to
adapt to highly variable environments to flower in the most favorable conditions …

Background Vernalization is a type of low temperature stress used to promote rapid bolting
and flowering in plants. Although rapid bolting and flowering promote the reproduction of …

The rapid development of sequencing technologies has led to a deeper understanding of
plant genomes. However, direct experimental evidence connecting genes to important …

Over the decades, extensive studies have been performed to elucidate the molecular
mechanisms underlying the floral transition process in model plants, as well as in crop …

The soybean E1 gene is a major regulator that plays an important role in flowering time and
maturity. However, it remains unclear how cultivars carrying the dominant E1 allele adapt to …
