배초향은 잎을 식용으로 이용하는 작물로 영양생장을 유지하여 잎의 품질과 수량을 높이는 것이 중요하다. 작물의 생장이 영양생장에서 생식생장으로 전환될 경우 발달이 저하 되어 상품성이 하락할 수 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 광주기에 따른 배초향 식물의 개화 특성 및 화서 발달을 조사하여 잎 생산을 위한 적정 광주기를 선발하기 위해 수행되었다. 종자를 2021년 11월 29일에 105구 트레이에 파종하여 본엽이 4매 발생한 식물체를 12월 27일에 각각 포트에 정식하였다. 정식 후 명기/암기 시간을 10/14hrs, 12/12hrs, 14/10hrs, 16/8hrs로 조절하여 처리하였다. 19일 광주기가 짧았던 10/14hrs에서 첫 개화를 확인하였으며, 12/12hrs에서 20일, 그 외 처리에서는 21일 이...

Numerous cultivars of Japanese flowering cherry (Prunus subgenus Cerasus) are recognized, but in many cases they are difficult to distinguish morphologically. Therefore, we evaluated the clonal status of 215 designated cultivars using 17 SSR markers. More than half the cultivars were morphologically distinct and had unique genotypes. However, 22 cultivars were found to consist of multiple clone...

Tree peony (Paeonia suffruticosa Andrews) is a perennial woody shrub bearing large and colorful flowers. However, the flowering period is short and relatively uniform, which to an important extent hinders the cultivation and exploitation of ornamental peonies. In this study, the segregation of an F₁ population derived from P. ostti 'Feng Dan' (an early-flowering cultivar) × P. suffruticosa 'Xin...

The responses of flowering phenology to temperature increases in temperate fruit trees have rarely been investigated in contrasting climatic regions. This is an appropriate framework for highlighting varying responses to diverse warming contexts, which would potentially combine chill accumulation (CA) declines and heat accumulation (HA) increases. To examine this issue, a data set was constitut...

Recent advances in rice flowering studies have shown that the accurate control of flowering by photoperiod is regulated by key mechanisms that involve the regulation of flowering genes including Heading date1 (Hd1), Early hd1 (Ehd1), Hd3a, and RFT1. The chromatin mechanism involved in the regulation of rice flowering genes is presently not well known. Here we show that the rice enhancer of zest...

We examined patterns of genetic variance and covariance in two traits (i) carbon stable isotope ratio delta13C (dehydration avoidance) and (ii) time to flowering (drought escape), both of which are putative adaptations to local water availability. Greenhouse screening of 39 genotypes of Arabidopsis thaliana native to habitats spanning a wide range of climatic conditions, revealed a highly signi...

The transcription factor CONSTANS (CO) is a central component that promotes Arabidopsis flowering under long-day conditions (LDs). Here, we show that the microRNA319-regulated TEOSINTE BRANCHED/CYCLOIDEA/PCF (TCP) transcription factors promote photoperiodic flowering through binding to the CO promoter and activating its transcription. Meanwhile, these TCPs directly interact with the flowering a...
