This review highlights the latest insights into how light, photoperiod, and circadian signalling regulate development in seedlings and seeds and how re-wiring of the regulatory network that these components operate within enables the distinct developmental demands of germinating and seedling growth in responding to the environment cues.
This review examines the molecular and genetic foundations underlying photoperiod sensitivity in flowering plants, with particular emphasis on the model organism Arabidopsis thaliana, and synthesizes current knowledge of photoperiod sensing mechanisms and highlights emerging areas for future research in plant developme...

Light occupies a singular position in plant biology because it supplies the energy for photosynthetic carbon gain while simultaneously providing information about time, season, canopy proximity, spatial orientation and environmental change. These energetic and informational functions are sensed across different scales...

Eco-physiological and molecular evidence for temperature-dependent flowering across plant groups and terrestrial ecosystems is synthesized, indicating that the temperature requirements for floral initiation, their organogenesis and anthesis vary widely among species and developmental stages, and that these optima refle...
This review synthesizes current advances in understanding how light signaling interfaces with hormonal and epigenetic pathways to control seed fate decisions to propose an integrated framework in which light, hormonal, and epigenetic networks function as a coordinated regulatory system ensuring germination occurs only...
