Transition to Flowering | Developmental Biology Lecture 1 | CSIR NET JRF Botany

🌱 Transition to Flowering – Vegetative to Reproductive Evocation 🌸 In this video, we explore one of the most important events in plant development – the shift from vegetative growth to reproductive (flowering) phase. This transition is regulated by a complex network of endogenous signals (hormones, genes, nutrients) and environmental cues (photoperiod, temperature, vernalization). 🔬 Key Highlights of this Video: ✅ Vegetative Growth and Meristem activity ✅ Floral Evocation – Switching of SAM to floral meristem ✅ Major Pathways of Flowering Regulation:  • Photoperiodic Pathway (role of phytochrome, cryptochrome, CO & FT)  • Vernalization Pathway (FLC repression & cold requirement)  • Autonomous Pathway (carbohydrate availability, nutrients, hormones) ✅ Role of Floral Meristem Identity Genes (LFY, AP1, SOC1) ✅ Molecular & physiological regulation of flowering 📖 This lecture will be highly useful for: 🌿 B.Sc. / M.Sc. Botany Students 🎓 CSIR NET / GATE / ICAR / SET / JRF aspirants 📚 Researchers in Plant Sciences 🌏 Anyone curious about how plants decide the right time to flower! 👉 Don’t forget to LIKE, SHARE, and SUBSCRIBE for more detailed Botany lectures! 🔔 Press the bell icon to stay updated with my latest educational content. 🔖 Hashtags: #Botany #PlantPhysiology #Flowering #CSIRNET #GATEBotany #ICAR #TransitionToFlowering #PlantDevelopment #VegetativeToReproductive #NEP2020 #MastersOfBotany
