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 …

In natural or agricultural environments, plants are constantly exposed to a wide range of
biotic and abiotic stresses. Given the forecasted global climate changes, plants will cope …

Circadian clocks provide a competitive advantage in an environment that is heavily
influenced by the rotation of the Earth,, by driving daily rhythms in behaviour, physiology and …

Circadian clocks integrate environmental signals with internal cues to coordinate diverse
physiological outputs so that they occur at the most appropriate season or time of day …

Sucrose is the main form of assimilated carbon which is produced during photosynthesis
and then transported from source to sink tissues via the phloem. This disaccharide is known …

Plants are the principal source of dietary iron (Fe) for most of Earth's population and Fe
deficiency can lead to major health problems. Develo** strategies to improve plant Fe …

The plant circadian clock allows organisms to anticipate the predictable changes in the
environment by adjusting their developmental and physiological traits. In the last few years …

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

The Arabidopsis thaliana early in short days6 (esd6) mutant was isolated in a screen for
mutations that accelerate flowering time. Among other developmental alterations, esd6 …

Plants are continually exposed to pathogen attack but usually remain healthy because they
can activate defences upon perception of microbes. However, pathogens have evolved to …
