The Importance of Being on Time: Regulatory Networks Controlling Photoperiodic Flowering in Cereals
Flowering is the result of the coordination between genetic information and environmental cues. Gene regulatory networks have evolved in plants in order to measure diurnal and seasonal variation of day length (or photoperiod), thus aligning the reproductive phase with the most favorable season of th...
