Although seasonality has been documented for mental disorders, it is unknown whether similar patterns can be observed in employee sickness absence from work due to a wide range of mental disorders with different severity level, and to what extent the rate of change in light exposure plays a role. To address these limitations, we used daily based si...

Daylength is perceived as a seasonal cue to induce growth-phase transition at a proper time of a year. The core of the mechanism of daylength measurement in angiosperms lies in the circadian clock-controlled expression of regulators of growth-phase transition. However, the roles of the circadian clock in daylength measurement in basal land plants r...

Conservative flowering behaviours, such as flowering during long days in summer or late flowering at a high leaf number, are often proposed to protect against variable winter and spring temperatures which lead to frost damage if premature flowering occurs. Yet, due the many factors in natural environments relative to the number of individuals compa...

Proper flowering is essential for the reproduction of all kinds of plants. Oat is an important cereal and forage crop; however, its cultivation is limited because it is a long-day plant. The molecular mechanism by which oats respond to different photoperiods is still unclear. In this study, oat plants were treated under long-day and short-day photo...

Yam is a major tropical root crop and a staple food for millions of people in West Africa. The model used in this study shows that promoting the use of improved seed tubers would help increase yields and profitability for farmers. This could lead to improved food security, increased income and higher standards of living. Additionally, the model ser...

Photoperiod-measuring mechanisms allow organisms to anticipate seasonal changes to align reproduction and growth with appropriate times of the year. This review provides historical and modern context to studies of plant photoperiodism. We describe how studies of photoperiodic flowering in plants led to the first theoretical models of photoperiod-me...

Transgenerational experience can affect a range of natural enemies’ life-history traits and can be involved in the control of developmental plasticity. As a major egg parasitoid of the spotted lanternfly, Lycorma delicatula (Hemiptera: Fulgoridae), the wasp Anastatus orientalis (Hymenoptera: Eupelmidae) is effective at suppressing its host populati...
