Cross-species complementation reveals conserved functions for EARLY FLOWERING 3 between monocots and dicots.

Plant responses to the environment are shaped by external stimuli and internal signaling pathways. In both the model plant () and crop species, circadian clock factors are critical for growth, flowering, and circadian rhythms. Outside of however, little is known about the molecular function of clock gene products.

Whole-Plant Manual and Image-Based Phenotyping in Controlled Environments.

Phenotypic measurements and images of crops grown under controlled-environment conditions can be analyzed to compare plant growth and other phenotypes from diverse varieties. Those demonstrating the most favorable phenotypic traits can then be used for crop improvement strategies. This article details a protocol for image-based root and shoot phenotyping of plants grown in the greenhouse to compare traits among different varieties.
