Welcome

The Flowering highlights blog is started

In collaboration with The Journal of Experimental Botany, we have started a blog that will bring news, papers, reports, and updates on all aspects of flowering research. We aim to alert readers of the most advancing, creative, comprehensive or unexpected publications in the field.

Large grant for research in epigenetics
 
Researchers here have received a grant of nearly 30 million SEK from the Knut och Alice Wallenbergs Foundation to investigate epigenetic mechanisms determining cell fate. During the next 5 years, Lars Hennig, Peter Bozhkov, Daniel Hofius, Claudia Köhler and Eva Sundberg will together study epigenetic pathways that regulate changes of cellular identity in plants.
