Abstract excerpt
The FLC gene encodes a MADS box repressor of flowering that is the main cause of the late-flowering phenotype of many Arabidopsis ecotypes. Expression of FLC is repressed by vernalization; maintenance of this repression is associated with the deposition of histone 3 K27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) at the FLC locus. However, whether this increased H3K27me3 is a consequence of reduced FLC transcription or the cause...
