Genetic and Physiological Bases of Heat-Induced Floret Sterility in Wheat
… of high temperatures during the booting stage on floret fertility in wheat, using a combined approach of plant physiology and quantitative genetics. Wheat plants were exposed to a brief heat stress (3 days, 37/27 °C day/night) when the main tiller reached a particular auricle interval length (AIL) …

Genetic regulation of maize floral development - insights from the transcriptome and translatome
… including the major cereal crops, flowers (florets) are contained in spikelets, which contain one to many florets, depending on the species. Floral development in plants is regulated by gene expression. Understanding gene expression regulation in maize floral development is critical to …

DEFINING THE FUNCTION OF RICE FLORIGENIC PROTEINS DURING THE REPRODUCTIVE TRANSITION AND INFLORESCENCE DEVELOPMENT
… meristems, followed by determinate spikelet and floret meristems. Extending the indeterminate stage results in panicles with more branches and seeds. The PEBP genes that encode for florigen-like FT-L1 and anti-florigens RCN1-4, influence this mechanism. While the antagonistic relationship between …

Comparison of the effects of reducing light intensity after flag leaf emergence in two wheat cultivars, Triticum Aestivum cv. Karamu and Triticum Aestivum cv. Arawa: A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science (Hons.) in the University of Canterbury
… is an attempt to confirm his observations that floret growth is held in check with respect to the vegetative parts such . as the glumes and lemmas, and to see if this can be modified by changes in light intensity.

Effects of Disinfectants and Anti-browning Agents on the Shelf-Life of Cauliflower Florets
<p>Currently, when cauliflower florets are packed in a MA package, they can last 8 to 10 days at 7.2ºC. The goal of this research was to develop a prepackaging methodology that could extend shelf-life of cauliflower florets to at least 14 days at 7.2ºC. Various methodologies were used to treat the …

Enhancing human health promoting activity through the regulation of the methyl jasmonate mediated glucosinolate biosynthesis in Brassica oleracea
… but had no effect on phenolics of broccoli florets. Correlation of growing degree days, precipitation per day and solar radiation with phenolic concentrations suggest that these weather related factors are associated with the enhancement of phenolics and tissue ABTS antioxidant activity. In …

Juvenility in three composite genera with ornamental potential: Rudbeckia, Gaillardia and Solidago
… The number of LD received did not affect ray floret number per inflorescence, scape length and capitulum diameter excluding ray florets. Gaillardia pulchella flowered most rapidly in 49 days, with a minimum of 14-20 expanded leaves as described in a quadratic relationship. Histological studies …

Floral trait architecture in crop sunflower (<i>Helianthus annuus</i>) under drought conditions
… head diameter and mass) and floral traits (floret lengths, nectar volume and concentration) in a field experiment under well-watered and drought conditions. Drought stress resulted in a decrease for most size traits, as well as shorter corollas and styles, and a decrease in average nectar …

Physiological Traits and Quantitative Trait Loci Associated with Nitrogen Use Efficiency in Soft Red Winter Wheat
… Ppd-D1b allele were attributable to increased floret fertility and kernel number per spike. The findings from these studies have direct application for winter wheat breeding programs targeting NUE improvements.

Functional studies of lignin biosynthesis genes and putative flowering gene in Miscanthus x giganteus and studies on indolyl glucosinolate biosynthesis and translocation in Brassica oleracea
… in apical leaves of broccoli seedlings and florets of plants at harvest maturity. Increases in indolyl GS in apical leaves of seedlings and florets were coupled with the up-regulation of indolyl GS biosynthesis genes. The accumulation of indolyl GSs appears to be modulated by MeJA treatment …

Enrichment of tomatoes and broccoli with specific bioactives for the reduction of prostate carcinogenesis
… lycopene or total carotenoids, standard broccoli floret, broccoli sprouts, or broccoli enriched with indole glucosinolates or selenium for 7 days. All broccoli diets increased activity of colon quinone reductase (NQO1). Indole glucosinolate-enriched broccoli and selenium-enriched broccoli …

Population structure and the molecular genetics of petal spot pigmentation in Gorteria diffusa
… 3-glucoside was found to pigment G. diffusa ray floret petals. In petal spots there was a high proportion of malonated anthocyanin, that was absent from other petal regions. In the first comprehensive characterisation of a G. diffusa petal spot developmental pathway, a small family of subgroup 6 …

Adaptation of wheat to a tropical environment
… importance of the timing of the phase of ear and floret development for sink development in this short season environment. Growing wheat at 32/23°C greatly reduced wheat yields compared to 28/20°C and 25/15°C due to much more rapid development, lower net photosynthesis rates and lower accumulation …
