Flowering in rice is influenced by not only endogenous factors that comprise an autonomous pathway, but also environmental effects, such as photoperiod, water availability, and temperature just before floral initiation. Recent molecular genetics studies have elucidated the functional roles of genes involved in the photoperiod pathway, e.g., photoreceptors, circadian clock components, and short-day (SD) promotion factors. Although these molecular players are well conserved between rice and Arabidopsis, their actual genetic functions are distinct.
