Plants respond to the changing seasons to initiate developmental programmes precisely at
particular times of year. Flowering is the best characterized of these seasonal responses …

Abstract Background Rice (Oryza sativa) and Arabidopsis thaliana have been widely used
as model systems to understand how plants control flowering time in response to …

The plant circadian clock promotes daily rhythms in the activity of many processes. These
rhythms are synchronized to the diurnal day/night cycle by environmental cues such as light …

Background Floral transition is a critical event in the life cycle of a flowering plant as it
determines its reproductive success. Despite extensive studies of specific genes that …

Changing Responses to Changing Seasons: Natural Variation in the Plasticity of Flowering
Time | Plant Physiology | Oxford Academic Skip to Main Content Advertisement Oxford …

Plants monitor changes in day length to coordinate flowering with favorable seasons to
increase their fitness. The day‐length specific induction of FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) …

Long days (LD) promote flowering of Arabidopsis thaliana compared with short days (SD) by
activating the photoperiodic pathway. Here we show that growth under very‐SD (3 h) or …

The relevance of flowering time variation and plasticity to climate adaptation requires a
comprehensive empirical assessment. We investigated natural selection and the genetic …

In this study, we used a combination of theoretical (models) and experimental (field data)
approaches to investigate the interaction between light and temperature signalling in the …

In many cases, the unprecedented availability of data provided by high-throughput
sequencing has shifted the bottleneck from a data availability issue to a data interpretation …
