Regulation of flowering time: all roads lead to Rome
A Srikanth, M Schmid - Cellular and molecular life sciences, 2011 - Springer
Plants undergo a major physiological change as they transition from vegetative growth to
reproductive development. This transition is a result of responses to various endogenous …

Improving power and accuracy of genome-wide association studies via a multi-locus mixed linear model methodology
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been widely used in genetic dissection of
complex traits. However, common methods are all based on a fixed-SNP-effect mixed linear …

[HTML][HTML] miR156-regulated SPL transcription factors define an endogenous flowering pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana
The FT gene integrates several external and endogenous cues controlling flowering,
including information on day length. A complex of the mobile FT protein and the bZIP …

Positional cloning of the wheat vernalization gene VRN1
L Yan, A Loukoianov, G Tranquilli… - Proceedings of the …, 2003 - National Acad Sciences
Winter wheats require several weeks at low temperature to flower. This process,
vernalization, is controlled mainly by the VRN1 gene. Using 6,190 gametes, we found VRN1 …

Regulation and function of SOC1, a flowering pathway integrator
J Lee, I Lee - Journal of experimental botany, 2010 - academic.oup.com
SOC1, encoding a MADS box transcription factor, integrates multiple flowering signals
derived from photoperiod, temperature, hormone, and age-related signals. SOC1 is …

The transcription factor FLC confers a flowering response to vernalization by repressing meristem competence and systemic signaling in Arabidopsis
Floral development at the Arabidopsis shoot apical meristem occurs in response to
environmental cues that are perceived in different tissues. Photoperiod is detected in the …

Vernalization requires epigenetic silencing of FLC by histone methylation
To ensure flowering in favourable conditions, many plants flower only after an extended
period of cold, namely winter. In Arabidopsis, the acceleration of flowering by prolonged …

Arabidopsis ABF3 and ABF4 transcription factors act with the NF-YC complex to regulate SOC1 expression and mediate drought-accelerated flowering
The drought-escape response accelerates flowering in response to drought stress, allowing
plants to adaptively shorten their life cycles. Abscisic acid (ABA) mediates plant responses to …
