How does a plant detect the changing seasons and make important developmental decisions accordingly? Together with prof. Federico Valverde's lab in Seville (Spain), we discuss in this review the importance of CONSTANS protein structure, function, and evolutionary mechanisms that embryophytes have developed to incorporate annual information into their physiology.
