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 plant development, the flowering transition and inflorescence architecture are modulated
by two homologous proteins, FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) and TERMINAL FLOWER 1 …

Conifers have dominated forests for more than 200 million years and are of huge ecological
and economic importance. Here we present the draft assembly of the 20-gigabase genome …

Seed dormancy is an important component of plant fitness that causes a delay of
germination until the arrival of a favourable growth season. Dormancy is a complex trait that …

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 …

Abiotic stress conditions adversely affect plant growth, resulting in significant decline in crop
productivity. To mitigate and recover from the damaging effects of such adverse …

One of the key developmental processes in flowering plants is the differentiation of the shoot
apical meristem into a floral meristem. This transition is regulated through the integration of …

Plant growth and development, particularly the induction of flowering, are tightly controlled
by key regulators in response to endogenous and environmental cues. The FLOWERING …

Plants monitor seasonal cues to optimize reproductive success by tuning onset of
reproduction and inflorescence architecture. TERMINAL FLOWER 1 (TFL1) and …

Fluctuations in environmental conditions greatly influence life on earth. Plants, as sessile
organisms, have developed molecular mechanisms to adapt their development to changes …
