Flowering time plasticity and global adaptation in rice
by Aalt DJ van Dijk Wageningen University Both genetic and physical characteristics of plants are nowadays studied at large scale using automated approaches. In order to understand how genotype and phenotype are related, computational approaches are indispensable. An important caveat of … Continue reading
Flowering in response to cold in annual and perennial plants
by Jens Sundström Department of Plant Biology, Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden. In relation to annual plants, perennial plants initiate flowering after a more extended juvenile period. Also, perennial plants can often initiate flowering during repeated seasonable cycles … Continue reading
Is the cold gone? – Many roads to flowering after winter
Lars Hennig Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences, Department of Plant Biology & Linnean Center for Plant Biology, PO-Box 7080, SE-75007 Uppsala, Sweden Strolling through gardens and nature in March, one sees signs of spring everywhere. It is less the fresh green … Continue reading
Forecasting flowering phenology
Aalt-Jan van Dijk Plant Research International, Wageningen University A prominent example of the role computational predictions play in everyday life is that of the weather forecast – will the weather allow your outdoor activities, and how about the weather during … Continue reading
Mutations in a circadian regulator contribute to crop adaptation
Ben Trevaskis CSIRO Plant Industry, Black Mountain ACT 2601, Australia Plants growing in temperate regions respond to seasonal changes in day length and temperature to coordinate flowering with optimal conditions. Variation in sensitivity or responsiveness to seasonal cues contributes to … Continue reading
