The timing of flowering affects the success of sexual reproduction. This developmental event
also determines crop yield, biomass, and longevity. Therefore, this mechanism has been …

Abscisic acid (ABA) is known to confer stress tolerance; however, at elevated levels it
impairs plant growth under prolonged stress. Paradoxically, at its basal level, ABA plays …

Seed protein, oil content and yield are highly correlated agronomically important traits that
essentially account for the economic value of soybean. The underlying molecular …

Plants evolved so that their flowering is triggered by seasonal changes in day length.
However, day-length sensitivity in crops limits their geographical range of cultivation, and …

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 …

Circadian Clock and Photoperiodic Flowering in Arabidopsis: CONSTANS Is a Hub for Signal
Integration | Plant Physiology | Oxford Academic Skip to Main Content Advertisement Oxford …

Plants monitor changes in photoperiod and temperature to synchronize their flowering with
seasonal changes to maximize fitness. In the Arabidopsis photoperiodic flowering pathway …

The B-box (BBX) proteins are a class of zinc-finger transcription factors containing a B-box
domain with one or two B-box motifs, and sometimes also feature a CCT (CONSTANS, CO …

Rice (Oryza sativa) is a short‐day (SD) plant originally having strong photoperiod sensitivity
(PS), with SDs promoting and long days (LDs) suppressing flowering. Although the evolution …

Correct measurement of environmental parameters is fundamental for plant fitness and
survival, as well as for timing developmental transitions, including the switch from vegetative …
