Polygenic architecture of flowering time and its relationship with local environments in the grass Brachypodium distachyon.

Abstract excerpt

Synchronizing the timing of reproduction with the environment is crucial in the wild. Among the multiple mechanisms, annual plants evolved to sense their environment, the requirement of cold-mediated vernalization is a major process that prevents individuals from flowering during winter. In many annual plants including crops, both a long and short vernalization requirement can be observed within species,...
