Comparative analyses of the seasonal transcriptional changes in Arabidopsis halleri across latitudinal gradients.
The flowering phenology is regulated by seasonal temperature changes, and it has been observed to shift in response to global warming. The aim of this project is to conduct a comprehensive exploration of the genes that contribute to shifts in flowering phenology under a warming climate. To achieve this goal, we have conducted a thorough analysis of the seasonal gene expression dynamics of Arabidopsis halleri subsp. gemmifera at three transplanted sites of varying latitudes in Japan: a cold-temperature site (Sendai), a warm-temperature site (Fukuoka), and a subtropical site (Iriomote Island).
