Abstract excerpt
Vernalization, the promotion of flowering by a prolonged period of low temperature, results in repression of the floral repressor FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) and in early flowering. This repression bears the hallmark of an epigenetic event: the low expression state is maintained over many cell division cycles, but expression is derepressed in progeny. We show that the two stages of the response of FLC to...
