Abstract:Masting, the synchronous highly variable flowering across years by a
population of perennial plants, has been shown to be precipitated by
many factors including nitrogen levels, drought conditions, spring and
summer temperatures. However, the molecular mechanism leading to the
initiation of flowering in masting plants in particular years remains
largely unknown, despite the potential impact of climate change on
masting phenology. We studied genes controlling flowering in Chionochloa
pallens, a strongly masting… Show more
