A reduced vernalization requirement is a key component of the early-bolting trait in globe artichoke (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus)

The paper identifies a reduced vernalization requirement in early-bolting globe artichoke genotypes by linking morphological markers to gene expression changes in flowering regulators.

Characterization of metabolic changes associated with floral transition in Arabidopsis: RAFFINOSE SYNTHASE 5 contributes to determine the timing of floral transition

The paper identifies metabolic changes during floral transition in Arabidopsis, showing that RS5 influences flowering time by affecting raffinose metabolism and gene expression.

The making of cauliflowers: the story of unsuccessful flowers

The paper investigates how cauliflowers and Romanesco develop through hysteresis in floral networks and mutations affecting meristem growth.

The SINGLE FLOWER (SFL) gene encodes a MYB transcription factor that regulates the number of flowers produced by the inflorescence of chickpea.

This study identifies the SFL gene in chickpea as a MYB transcription factor that regulates the number of flowers per secondary inflorescence by controlling the activity duration of the I2 meristem.
