Flowering time is a key developmental transition that determines plant reproductive success and agricultural yield. This session will explore the genetic, molecular, and environmental factors regulating flowering induction. Attendees will learn about photoperiodism, where day length controls flowering, and vernalization, where cold exposure promotes flowering. The session will highlight major regulatory genes such as CONSTANS and FLOWERING LOCUS T. Researchers will discuss how circadian clocks and hormonal signals integrate with environmental cues. Case studies will show how different plants adapt flowering time for survival across climates. The session will also examine how climate change is altering flowering phenology worldwide. Practical applications include breeding crops with optimized flowering times for specific environments. Cutting-edge genomic techniques for dissecting flowering time control will also be presented. Attendees will gain a comprehensive understanding of how plants balance internal and external signals to ensure reproductive success.
Welcome to Plant Biology Conference 2026, where global researchers, academicians, and ecologists unite to share advancements in plant genetics, physiology, biotechnology, ecology, and sustainable agriculture and conservation practices.
