FRAGMENT FROM NATURE focuses on the genetic and environmental systems controlling flowering. In many plants, flowering is the most important lifecycle step, that leads to seed generation, and the next generation of that species, not surprisingly, it is tightly controlled internally, and coordinated with the environment: bad timing would not lead to fertilizations.

EPIGENETIC CUES. “In Arabidopsis, flowering in response to seasonal changes is controlled by the vernalization, photoperiod and ambient temperature pathways, which act coordinately with those that respond to endogenous and developmental cues: the autonomous, gibberellin and age-dependent pathways (see Figure 1).” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168952510001873 View in LinkedIn

FLORAL MERISTEM IDENTITY GENES. “We will describe the central role that AP1 plays in the transition from floral induction to flower formation by acting as a switch between these two developmental programs and constituting a hub in the corresponding network of regulatory genes.” https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0168952510001873 View in LinkedIn
