Many plants are adapted to flower at particular times of year, to ensure optimal pollination and seed maturation. In these plants flowering is controlled by environmental signals that reflect the changing seasons, particularly daylength and temperature. The response to daylength varies, so that plan

## Abstract Plant reproduction is vital for species survival, and is also central to the production of food for human consumption. Seeds result from the successful fertilization of male and female gametes, but our understanding of the development, differentiation of gamete lineages and fertilizatio
Flowers develop in higher plants by a series of unique events. In the first step, cells of the apex are directed to undergo evocation, resulting in the conversion of the vegetative meristem to a floral meristem. In some plant species, flowering is largely controlled by developmental signals, whereas
