GI as a dynamic integrator: Synchronizing photoperiod and temperature signals to control flowering time in Arabidopsis

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: GIGANTEA (GI) integrates photoperiod and temperature signals to regulate flowering. Under high temperatures, suppression of GI liquid-liquid phase separation promotes flowering. This illustrates how plants coordinate photoperiodic and thermosensory cues to fine-tune development. GI also links stress responses and circadian control, highlighting its central role in environmental signal integration.
