ScholarBank@NUS Repository. https://doi.org/10.1038/ng1795 | Abstract: | Vernalization is the process by which sensing a prolonged exposure to winter cold leads to competence to flower in the spring. In winter annual Arabidopsis thaliana accessions, flowering is suppressed in the fall by expression of the potent floral repressor FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC). Vernalization promotes flowering via epigenetic repression of FLC. Repression is accompanied by a series of histone modifications of FLC chromatin that include dimethylation of histone H3 at Lys9 (H3K9) and Lys27 (H3K27). Here, we report that A. thaliana LIKE HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN 1 (LHP1) is necessary to maintain the epigenetically repressed state of FLC upon return to warm conditions typical of spring. LHP1 is enriched at FLC chromatin after prolonged exposure to cold, and LHP1 activity is needed to maintain the increased levels of H3K9 dimethylation at FLC chromatin that are characteristic of the vernalized state. © 2006 Nature Publishing Group. | Source Title: | Nature Genetics | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/100597 | ISSN: | 10614036 | DOI: | 10.1038/ng1795 |
