Data-driven mathematical modelling explains altered timing of EARLY FLOWERING 3 in the wheat circadian oscillator
Abstract. Circadian rhythms are endogenous 24 h cycles that allow organisms to anticipate daily environmental changes. In plants, circadian timing is maint

Infrared radiation is an ancient pollination signal
Color and scent are well-known pollinator cues. Some plants also produce heat, but its role remains unclear. Here, we report that plant-generated thermal infrared radiation serves as a pollination sig...
