Flowering, a pivotal plant lifecycle event, is intricately regulated by environmental and endogenous signals via genetic and epigenetic mechanisms. Photoperiod is a crucial environmental cue that induces flowering by activating integrators through genetic and epigenetic pathways. However, the specific role of DNA methylation, a conserved epigenetic marker, in photoperiodic flowering remains unclear.

Psocids are difficult to manage using grain protectants and phosphine hence research on non-chemical control methods. This study evaluated the effectiveness of (Reuter) (Hemiptera: Anthocoridae) at managing (Pearman) (Psocodea: Liposcelididae). The functional responses of adult♀ and nymphs of on a diet of nymphs, adult♂, and adult♀ of were determined under laboratory conditions at 28 ± 1 °C, 63 ± 5% RH, and a 0:24 (L:D) photoperiod.

Melatonin is involved in various functions such as the timing of circadian rhythms, energy metabolism, and body mass gain in experimental animals. However, its effects on adipose tissue lipid metabolism are still unclear. This study analyzes the effects of melatonin on the relative gene expression of lipolytic proteins in rat mesenteric adipose tissue and free fatty acid (FFA) and glycerol plasma levels of male Wistar rats fed a high-fat (HFD) or maintenance diet.

Barley traits that determine grain number are established between jointing and flowering. The timing of flowering is critical for adaptation and yield as it affects the fertility of both the main shoot and tiller spikes. The Photoperiod-H1 (PPD-H1) gene controls flowering time and impacts spike fertility and yield in barley; however, it is not known if these effects are truly pleiotropic or indirect.

Photoperiodic regulation of flowering time plays a critical role in plant reproductive success and crop yield. In Arabidopsis thaliana, the expression of the CONSTANS (CO) gene is closely regulated by day length and is modulated by both environmental and endogenous cues for precise control over flowering. Our findings reveal that the phytohormone brassinosteroid (BR) pathway represses flowering by inhibiting the expression of both CO and Flowering Locus T (FT).
