Of light and length: Regulation of hypocotyl growth in Arabidopsis

Article Abstract:

The embryonic and postembryonic seedling stem, called the hypocotyl, of the model species Arabidopsis is an excellent system for studying the signal interplay in the regulation of growth and developmental responses. The current state of knowledge about the regulation of hypocotyl growth by a large repertoire of internal and external cues is presented.

Evolution of flowering in response to day length: flipping the CONSTANS switch

Article Abstract:

Research suggests that environmental cue for flowering in plant species is largely conserved with only one component playing a key role in the regulation of flowering. Results indicate that reversal behavior of the transcription factor CONSTANS regulates the flowering in response to long or short day cues in Arabidopsis and rice, respectively.

It's time to flower: the genetic control of flowering time

Article Abstract:

The development of seeds and fruits depends on flowering at the right time and the coordination of flowering with the right season. The plant Arabidopsis was used for studying the developmental stages of a plant and three pathways leading to controlled flowering are reviewed in this regard.

Arabidopsis thaliana
