Control of flowering time: interacting pathways as a basis for diversity.

Flowering is controlled by environmental conditions and developmental regulation. The complexity of this regulation is created by an intricate network of signaling pathways. Arabidopsis is an excellent model system in which to approach this complexity, because it responds to many of the
