Abstract excerpt
Flowering is crucial for successful reproduction in angiosperms. The RNA-binding protein FLOWERING CONTROL LOCUS A (FCA) promotes flowering by repressing the transcription of FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC), which encodes a key repressor of flowering. The EAR motif-containing protein (ECAP) is a recently identified adaptor protein that represses transcription. Here we show that ECAP facilitates FCA-mediated FLC...
