Plants can recognize nearby kin and alter their growth in response. Here, Torices et al. demonstrate that flower production can also be sensitive to social context, with plants producing larger floral displays in the presence of relatives, which may increase attraction of pollinators to the group...

Three major decisions regarding timing of flowering are: the length of the juvenile phase, a period lasting from germination until plants allow themselves to enter the reproductive cycle, when to flower during the year, and when to time the next cycle of reproduction, that is, the "reproductive...
DlFT1andDlFT2were constitutively overexpressed and driven by the CaMV 35S promoter inArabidopsis. Under long-day conditions,DlFT1overexpression plants started to flower when there were 7.5 rosette leaves, much earlier than WT control which flowered with 14.3 leaves (Fig.2d, e, Fig. S3b). Conver...
prima donnas compared to the relatively low-key plants, but it is hard to resist them especially if you are coping with a shaded or partly shaded situation. These are not grown as annuals. They grow from little around tubers that persist from year to year if you take care of them ...
Many plants monitor day-length changes throughout the year and use the information to precisely regulate the timing of seasonal flowering for maximum reproductive success. In Arabidopsis thaliana. transcriptional regulation of the CONSTANS (CO) gene and posttranslational regulation of CO protein are cruc...
While it’s always good practice to clean your garden tools, you should go one step further with pruning tools and sanitize them. If there’s a chance that you’ll be pruning diseased plants, sanitizing your tools will prevent the spread of disease to healthy plants. Generally, your tools ...
For leaf series analysis, plants (n ¼ 8 per genotype) were grown in LD for 18 or SD for 30 days. After dissection of individual leaves, the leaf area was measured with ImageJ (http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/) Statistically significant area differences between genotypes and Col-0 wt ...

There was variation between insect groups, bees and butterflies had shifted in synchrony with the plants, but this wasn’t observed in hoverflies. There was also variation between species of these insects. Even when plants and their dependent insects change timings in synchrony, the next sta...
