The F-box protein FKF1 inhibits dimerization of COP1 in the control of photoperiodic flowering
Mar 15, 2018 l Hit 2303
Plants have different blooming timing, depending on their geographical location and regional climate, even if they are of the same species. Many researchers, both inside and outside Korea, have been actively studying these blooming periods and found that they are determined by a complex interaction betw...
