Flowering time is a critical agronomic trait with a profound effect on the productivity and adaptability of rapeseed (Brassica napus L.). Strategically advancing flowering time can reduce the risk of yield losses due to extreme climatic conditions and facilitate the cultivation of subsequent crops on the same land, thereby enhancing overall agricultural efficiency. In this review, we synthesize current information on flowering time regulation in rapeseed through an integrated analysis of its genetic, hormonal, and environmental dimensions, emphasizing their crosstalk and implications for yield. We consolidate multi-omics evidence from population genetics, functional genomics, and systems biology to create a haplotype-based framework that overcomes the trade-off between flowering time and yield, providing support for the precision breeding of early-maturing cultivars. The insights presented here could inform future research on flowering time regulation and guide strategies for increasing rapeseed productivity.

The regulation of photoperiod and light intensity significantly affected Agastache rugosa by enhancing growth, modifying flowering dynamics, and promoting the accumulation of key phenolic compounds. Agastache rugosa is a medicinal and aromatic plant valued for its bioactive compounds, which contribute to its application in the flavoring, perfume, and food industries. However, variability in the composition of the bioactive compounds poses challenges for its commercial utilization.

Background: Classification of rose species and verities is a challenging task. Rose is used worldwide for various applications, including but not restricted to skincare, medicine, cosmetics, and fragrance. This study explores the potential of Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) for species and variety classification of rose flowers, leveraging its advantages such as minimal sample preparation, real-time analysis, and remote sensing.

Flowering is a key trait in most crops and may depend on cold exposure, a process known as vernalization, but the underlying regulatory mechanisms are poorly understood. Taraxacum koksaghyz is a rubber-producing dandelion of the family Asteraceae, which also includes other economically important crops such as chicory and lettuce. Most T.

Trimethylation of histone H3 at lys36 (H3K36me3) promotes gene transcription and governs plant development and plant responses to environmental cues. Yet, how H3K36me3 is translated into specific downstream events remains largely uninvestigated. Here, we report that the Arabidopsis PWWP-domain protein HUA2 binds methyl-H3K36 in a PWWP motif-dependent manner.
