Dioecy, the presence of male and female individuals, has evolved independently in multiple
flowering plant lineages,–. Although theoretical models for the evolution of dioecy, such as …

Phosphatidylethanolamine‐binding protein (PEBP) genes regulate flowering and
architecture in many plant species. Here, we study kiwifruit (Actinidia chinensis, Ac) PEBP …

Flower initiation is a phenological developmental process strictly regulated in all flowering
plants. Studies in Arabidopsis thaliana, a model plant organism in plant biology and …

Temperate perennials require exposure to chilling temperatures to resume growth in the
following spring. Growth and dormancy cycles are controlled by complex genetic regulatory …

Seasonal bud dormancy in perennial woody plants is a crucial and intricate process that is
vital for the survival and development of plants. Over the past few decades, significant …
