Mathematical modelling of the floral transition — with a Bayesian flourish —
… the biological mechanisms controlling the floral transition. However there has been little mathematical modelling of this process. The aim of this thesis was to gain an understanding of the essential features and dynamic properties underlying this developmental phase change from a systems …

FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS INVOLVED IN REPRODUCTIVE MERISTEM IDENTITY IN ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA
… with a tightly regulated process called the floral transition in which different regulatory pathways, which are regulated by environmental and internal signals, culminate in the transition from vegetative to reproductive growth. Subsequently, flowers develop instead of leaves and the …

THE RNA-BINDING PROTEIN LRP1 MEDIATES FLOWERING TIME IN ARABIDOPSIS
… plants such as <i>Arabidopsis thaliana</i>, floral transition is tightly regulated by a complex network of genetic pathways. FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC), a MADS-box transcription factor, is a strong repressor of this flowering process, intricately controlled by several genetic pathways, including …

Predicting the impact of climate change on vernalization for Arabidopsis thaliana
… cold, known as vernalization, to ensure prompt floral transition occurs in spring. This thesis addresses the question of whether partial saturation of cold requirements might delay flowering under future climate scenarios. Laboratory experiments set up to parameterize a predictive model revealed …

Spatio-temporal analysis of florigenic signals in Arabidopsis thaliana, Sinapis alba and Brassica napus
… day length is perceived in leaves, but how the floral signal is transduced to the shoot apex via the phloem to induce flowering remains to be elucidated. This study aimed at the identification of new candidates involved in the induction of flowering by employing three plant species, Arabidopsis …

An investigation into the role of deubiquitinating enzymes in plant disease resistance
… crucial involvement of deubiquitination in the floral transition. The cDNA sequence of the tobacco AtUBP12 ortholog NtUBP12 was determined and utilised for VIGS based NbUBP12 gene silencing studies during disease resistance signalling in N. benthamiana. Loss of function studies indicated that …
