During the past two decades, there has been enormous progress in our understanding of how internal and external (environmental) cues control the transition to reproductive growth in plants. Many flowering time regulators have been identified from the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Most of them are assembled in regulatory pathways, which converge to central integrators which trigger the transition of the vegetative into an inflorescence meristem. For crop cultivation, the time of flowering is of upmost importance, because it determines yield. Phenotypic variation for this trait is largely controlled by genes, which were often modified during domestication or crop improvement. Understanding the genetic basis of flowering time regulation offers new opportunities for selection in plant breeding and for genome editing and genetic modification of crop species. 606 $aGenetics (non-medical)$2bicssc 610 $aArabidopsis 610 $abarley 610 $aBEET 610 $acrop plants 610 $afloral transition 610 $aPhenological development 610 $aPrunus 610 $arice 610 $aTomato 610 $awheat 615 7$aGenetics (non-medical) 700 $aMaria von Korff$4auth$01311255 702 $aChristian Jung$4auth 702 $aKlaus Pillen$4auth 702 $aGeorge Coupland$4auth 702 $aDorothee Staiger$4auth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910220057903321 996 $aRecent Advances in Flowering Time Control$93030061 997 $aUNINA
