The genetic basis of flowering responses to seasonal cues
Seasonal cues, such as day length and temperature, influence the developmental programme of plants. Recent genetic research has shed light on the pathways that lead to seasonal responses in flowering. The regulation of these pathways inArabidopsis thaliana, their conservation throughout other species and comparative analysis of annual and perennial plants are considered here.

Towards identifying genes underlying ecologically relevant traits in Arabidopsis thaliana
This article assesses the alternative methods for identifying natural alleles that control quantitative traits inArabidopsis thaliana, with a particular emphasis on the need to adapt study designs to account for the context of ecology and adaptation in nature.

Plant immunity: towards an integrated view of plant–pathogen interactions
Our understanding of the evolution and molecular basis of plant–pathogen interactions has recently been advanced by bringing together genetic and genomic studies of both plants and pathogens. Insights into the strategies used by plants to recognize pathogens may lead to novel agricultural applications.
