Abstract excerpt
Plants use seasonal cold to time the transition to reproductive development. Short- and long-term cold exposure is registered via parallel transcriptional shutdown and Polycomb-dependent epigenetic silencing of the Arabidopsis thaliana major flowering repressor locus FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC). The cold-induced antisense transcripts (COOLAIR) determine the dynamics of FLC transcriptional shutdown, but the...
