Root and tuber crops have been an important part of human nutrition since the early days of
humanity, providing us with essential carbohydrates, proteins, and vitamins. Today, they are …

Sucrose controls various developmental and metabolic processes in plants. In this review,
we evaluate whether sucrose could be a preferred signaling molecule that controls …

Sugars are the most important regulators that facilitate many physiological processes, such
as photosynthesis, seed germination, flowering, senescence, and many more under various …

The timing of flowering is determined by endogenous genetic components as well as
various environmental factors, such as day length, temperature, and stress. The genetic …

Under the global scenario of burgeoning population it is imperative to ensure food security
by increasing crop production. There is increasing concern, however, that agricultural …

Sucrose metabolism plays pivotal roles in development, stress response, and yield
formation, mainly by generating a range of sugars as metabolites to fuel growth and …

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

Plant species have evolved different requirements for environmental/endogenous cues to
induce flowering. Originally, these varying requirements were thought to reflect the action of …

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 …

Most agriculturally important traits are regulated by genes known as quantitative trait loci
(QTLs) derived from natural allelic variations. We here show that a QTL that increases grain …
