The Arabidopsis Flowering Locus C (FLC) protein is a repressor of flowering regulated by
genes in the autonomous and vernalization pathways. Previous genetic and transgenic data …

Multiple genetic pathways act in response to developmental cues and environmental signals
to promote the floral transition, by regulating several floral pathway integrators. These …

We have shown that ent-kaurenoic acid oxidase, a member of the CYP88A subfamily of
cytochrome P450 enzymes, catalyzes the three steps of the gibberellin biosynthetic pathway …

We have investigated the relationship between seed dormancy and abscisic acid (ABA)
metabolism in the monocot barley and the dicot Arabidopsis. Whether dormant (D) or non‐…

Since the discovery of miRNAs in plants it has become clear that they are central to the
regulation of many aspects of plant development and responses to the environment. miR172 …

In Arabidopsis thaliana, the promotion of flowering by cold temperatures, vernalization, is
regulated via a floral-repressive MADS box transcription factor, FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC). …

FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) has a key role in the timing of the initiation of flowering in
Arabidopsis. FLC binds and represses two genes that promote flowering, FT and SOC1. We …

Double-stranded RNA (dsRNA) induces an endogenous sequence-specific RNA degradation
mechanism in most eukaryotic cells. The mechanism can be harnessed to silence genes …

The ga3 mutant of Arabidopsis is a gibberellin-responsive dwarf. We present data showing
that the ga3-1 mutant is deficient in ent-kaurene oxidase activity, the first cytochrome P450-…

Background Regulation of gene expression by microRNAs (miRNAs) plays a crucial role in
many developmental and physiological processes in plants. miRNAs act to repress …
