Abstract
In this issue of Developmental Cell, Huang et al. identify how tomato plants use heat-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) to modulate flowering. Using genetics, gene editing, and imaging, the authors demonstrate that ROS prolong the TERMINATING FLOWER (TMF) phase separation, delaying flowering while extending vegetative growth.
期刊介绍:
Developmental Cell, established in 2001, is a comprehensive journal that explores a wide range of topics in cell and developmental biology. Our publication encompasses work across various disciplines within biology, with a particular emphasis on investigating the intersections between cell biology, developmental biology, and other related fields. Our primary objective is to present research conducted through a cell biological perspective, addressing the essential mechanisms governing cell function, cellular interactions, and responses to the environment. Moreover, we focus on understanding the collective behavior of cells, culminating in the formation of tissues, organs, and whole organisms, while also investigating the consequences of any malfunctions in these intricate processes.
