Flowering in many plant species is strongly influenced by light, daylength and temperature. The way in which plants sense and respond to these factors is is being studied in garden pea and several other temperate legumes.
Mutants affecting flowering responses are being characterized, and legume homologues of Arabidopsis flowering genes are being mapped and used in expression studies.
