The timing of flowering affects the success of sexual reproduction. This developmental event
also determines crop yield, biomass, and longevity. Therefore, this mechanism has been …

In seasonal flowering, plants need to monitor environmental variables. A combination of
photoreceptors and the circadian clock initiate signals that regulate a network of genes in …

Sweet corn is one of the most important vegetables in the United States and Canada. Here,
we present a de novo assembly of a sweet corn inbred line Ia453 with the mutated …

Heat stress limits plant growth, development, and crop yield, but how plant cells precisely
sense and transduce heat stress signals remains elusive. Here, we identified a conserved …

The establishment of symbiotic interactions between leguminous plants and rhizobia
requires complex cellular programming activated by Rhizobium Nod factors (NFs) as well as …

Photoperiod plays a key role in controlling the phase transition from vegetative to
reproductive growth in flowering plants. Leaves are the major organs perceiving day-length …

The conversion from vegetative to inflorescence shoot apical meristem is one of the key
developmental switches in flowering plants. This transition is modulated by various …

B-box transcription factors (BBXs) are important regulators of flowering,
photomorphogenesis, shade-avoidance, abiotic and biotic stresses and plant hormonal …

Plants possess an astonishing capability of effectively adapting to a wide range of
temperatures, ranging from freezing to near-boiling temperatures,. Yet, heat is a critical …

Nuclear pore complexes (NPC) are highly conserved mega protein complexes that
penetrate the double-layered nuclear membrane and form channels to allow bi-directional …
