Abstract excerpt
Vernalization, the promotion of flowering in response to low temperatures, is one of the best characterized examples of epigenetic regulation in plants. The promotion of flowering is proportional to the duration of the cold period, but the mechanism by which plants measure time at low temperatures has been a long-standing mystery. We show that the quantitative induction of the first gene in the Arabidopsis...
