flower-development
Flower development is the process by which flowering plants transition from vegetative growth to producing reproductive structures, governed by precise patterns of gene expression in meristems as described by the ABC model. Understanding this process is fundamental to plant biology, as it reveals how environmental and genetic signals are integrated to coordinate the timing and architecture of floral organs. Research in this area has broad implications for agriculture, enabling scientists to manipulate flowering time and reproductive success in crop species.
