(Submitter supplied) Daylength is a key indicator of seasonal information that determines major patterns of behavior in plants and animals. Photoperiodism has been described in plants for about 100 years, but the underlying molecular mechanisms of daylength perception and signal transduction in many systems are not well understood. In trees, photoperiod perception plays a major role in growth cessation during the autumn as well as activating the resumption of shoot growth in the spring, both processes controlled by FLOWERING LOCUS T2 (FT2) expression levels and critical for the survival of perennial plants over winter. more...

(Submitter supplied) Daylength is an important seasonal cue, and genetic variation in the regulation of photoperiodism has been selected for in adapting wheat and barley to northern latitudes. Despite the importance of this trait, the mechanism by which monocot plants sense photoperiod is not known. We find in Brachypodium distachyon that photoperiodism is mediated by phytochromeC (phyC), a chromophore that acts as a molecular timer and measures the length of the night. more...
