Researchers have uncovered new evidence about the agriculturally important process of vernalization in a development that could help farmers deal with financially damaging weather fluctuations.

A fourth wheat gene governing vernalization -- the biological process requiring cold temperatures to trigger flower formation -- has been identified, giving plant breeders one more tool for developing ...

The arrival of winter marks not only a change in weather, temperature, and day length, but also a change in our activity and behavior. The social outdoor events and trips to the beach over summer soon ...

While we’re all anticipating spring, it’s still only February. Outside, we can see our plants resting over winter, but just because they are dormant doesn’t mean they haven’t been doing anything all ...

This Harry’s Farm update covers farm maintenance, crop development, government policy changes, and the financial challenges ...

In many plants the timing of flowering is controlled by a range of environmental and molecular signals. One of these signals, prolonged cold, aligns flowering with spring in a process known as ...

Researchers have uncovered new evidence about the agriculturally important process of vernalization in a development that could help farmers deal with financially damaging weather fluctuations.

In the game of wheat genetics, Jorge Dubcovsky's laboratory at UC Davis has hit a grand slam, unveiling for the fourth time in a dozen years a gene that governs wheat vernalization, the biological ...
