A novel functional allele of Ehd3 controls flowering time in rice
Rice flowering time determines its geographical distribution and yield traits. As a short-day plant, rice can grow in the northern long-day conditions due to the functional mutations of many photosensitive gen...

Effects of the quantitative trait locus qPss3 on inhibition of photoperiod sensitivity and resistance to stalk rot disease in maize
We identified a quantitative trait locus, qPss3 , and fine-mapped the causal locus to a 120-kb interval in maize. This locus inhibits the photoperiod sensit...

Transcription factor bZIP65 delays flowering via suppressing Ehd1 expression in rice
Flowering time is one of the most fundamental factors that determine the distribution and final yield of rice. Ehd1 (Early heading date 1) is a B-type response regulator which functions as a flowering time act...
