Photoperiod-measuring mechanisms allow organisms to anticipate seasonal changes to
align reproduction and growth with appropriate times of the year. This review provides …

The increasing demand for global food security in the face of a warming climate is leading
researchers to investigate the physiological and molecular responses of cereals to rising …

Plants use photoperiodism to activate flowering in response to a particular daylength. In rice,
flowering is accelerated in short-day conditions, and even a brief exposure to light during the …

The photoperiodic response is critical for plants to adjust their reproductive phase to the
most favorable season. Wheat heads earlier under long days (LD) than under short days …

In Arabidopsis, CONSTANS (CO) integrates light and circadian clock signals to promote
flowering under long days (LD). In the grasses, a duplication generated two paralogs …

Daylength sensing in many plants is critical for coordinating the timing of flowering with the
appropriate season. Temperate climate-adapted grasses such as Brachypodium distachyon …

Plant breeders have indirectly selected for variation at circadian-associated loci in many of
the world's major crops, when breeding to increase yield and improve crop performance …

Background Photoperiod signals provide important cues by which plants regulate their
growth and development in response to predictable seasonal changes. Phytochromes, a …

The proper timing of flowering, which is key to maximize reproductive success and yield,
relies in many plant species on the coordination between environmental cues and …

The arrival of cheap and high-throughput sequencing paired with efficient gene editing
technologies allows us to use non-traditional model systems and mechanistically approach …
