Abstract

Phytochromes have a crucial role in the regulation of flowering in many plants, but the underlying molecular mechanisms vary among species. Recently, Lin et al. described a unique phytochrome A (phyA)-controlled photoperiodic flowering pathway in soybean (Glycine max), revealing a novel mechanism for photoperiodic regulation of flowering.

Keywords: E1; LUX ARRHYTHMO; photoperiodic flowering; phytochromes; soybean.
