Article Synopsis
- - Plants have adapted to synchronize their reproductive cycles with environmental signals, and while much is known about this in flowering plants (angiosperms), both vascular and nonvascular plants share some genetic similarities.
- - Researchers focused on a specific plant's genes that might link temperature responses to reproductive timing and found two genes similar to known regulators in angiosperms.
- - Surprisingly, knockout mutations of these genes did not significantly affect the plant's timing of reproduction or its response to cold stress, indicating these genes may not be crucial for seasonal reproductive transitions.
