Molecular Basis of Flowering Time Regulation in Arabidopsis
Flowering time is crucial for most plants to successfully survive and reproduce.Both environmental and genetic factors can regulate flowering time.The flowering regulators consist of at least 6 closely interlinked but divergent genetic regulation pathways,including photoperiod,vernalization,ambient temperature,gibberellic acid and autonomous pathways.This review summarizes the research progress in the molecular basis of flowering time regulation in Arabidopsis and prospects for future study.
