TL;DR: Double mutants were constructed containing co and mutations affecting gibberellic acid responses, meristem identity, or phytochrome function, and their phenotypes suggested a model for the role of CO in promoting flowering.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the transcript levels of the anthocyanin biosynthetic genes in a red-fleshed apple compared with a white-fleshhed cultivar.

TL;DR: The dominant late elongated hypocotyl (lhy) mutation of Arabidopsis disrupted circadian clock regulation of gene expression and leaf movements and caused flowering to occur independently of photoperiod.

TL;DR: The strong correlation between the expression of MdMYB10 and apple anthocyanin levels during fruit development suggests that this transcription factor is responsible for controlling anthocianin biosynthesis in apple fruit; in the red-fleshed cultivar and in the skin of other varieties, there is an induction of MdmyB10 expression concurrent with colour formation during development.

TL;DR: It is shown that GIGANTEA (GI) is essential to establish and sustain oscillations of ZTL by a direct protein-protein interaction, which results in the high-amplitude TOC1 rhythms necessary for proper clock function.
