Florigen, the mobile signal that moves from an induced leaf to the shoot apex and causes
flowering, has eluded identification since it was first proposed 70 years ago. Understanding …

Salinity stress negatively impacts agricultural yield throughout the world affecting production
whether it is for subsistence or economic gain. The plant response to salinity consists of …

The photoperiodic control of flowering is one of the important developmental processes of
plants because it is directly related to successful reproduction 1 . Although the molecular …

The Arabidopsis thaliana vacuolar Na + /H + antiporter AtNHX1 is a salt tolerance
determinant. Predicted amino acid sequence similarity, protein topology and the presence of …

RICE FLOWERING LOCUS T 1 (RFT1/FT-L3) is the closest homologue of Heading date 3a (Hd3a),
which is thought to encode a mobile flowering signal and promote floral transition …

Plants sense phosphate (Pi) deficiency and initiate signaling that controls adaptive responses
necessary for Pi acquisition. Herein, evidence establishes that AtSIZ1 is a plant small …

Two Arabidopsis thaliana extragenic mutations that suppress NaCl hypersensitivity of the
sos3–1 mutant were identified in a screen of a T-DNA insertion population in the genetic …

Although some genes that encode sensory or regulatory elements for photoperiodic flowering
are conserved between the long-day (LD) plant Arabidopsis thaliana and the short-day (…

Rice is a facultative short-day plant, and molecular genetic studies have identified the major
genes involved in short-day flowering. However, the molecular mechanisms promoting the …

Radish (Raphanus sativus L., n = 9) is one of the major vegetables in Asia. Since the genomes
of Brassica and related species including radish underwent genome rearrangement, it is …
