... mutant luminidependens ( ld ). bri1 was found to predominantly function as a flowering-time enhancer. Further analyses of double mutants between bri1 and known flowering-time mutants revealed that bri1 also enhances the phenotype of the autonomous mutant fca and of the dominant FRI line. Moreover, all...

... Flowering time Photoperiodism CONSTANS Arabidopsis Plants use light as a source of information to optimally adapt growth and development to the ambient environment. Light is perceived by the plant through several classes of photoreceptors: the red light (R)- and far-red light (FR)-absorbing...
