This study investigates how mutations in the HEADING DATE 1 gene affect rice transcription and cell wall composition under different day length conditions.

This study uses synthetic microProteins to alter photoperiod dependence in rice, enabling earlier flowering under long-day conditions but affecting grain yield.

The paper identifies the miP1a/b microProtein complex as a repressor of flowering in Arabidopsis by bridging CONSTANS and TOPLESS, with JMJ14 contributing to chromatin changes at the FT gene.
