One example is vernalization, the process by which flowering is promoted as plants sense exposure to the cold temperatures of winter. A requirement for vernalization is an adaptive trait that helps prevent flowering before winter and permits flowering in the favorable conditions of spring. In Arabidopsis and cereals, vernalization results in the suppression of genes that repress flowering. We describe recent progress in understanding the molecular basis of this suppression. In Arabidopsis, vernalization involves the recruitment of chromatin-modifying complexes to a clade of flowering repressors that are silenced epigenetically via histone modifications. vernalization高高级级植物生理学植物的生殖生理植物生理学植物的生殖生理课课件件Can be induced quicklyIncreases plant resistance to freezing stressDoes not affect flowering time.

(a) Prior to cold exposure, FLC is actively expressed. The complexes that maintain this active chromatin conformation include the PAF complex, which methylates histone 3 tails at lysine 4 and 36 (H3K4triMe and H3K36triMe), a SWR1-like complex, which deposits a histone 2A variant in the nucleosomes of FLC chromatin, and H2B ubiquitinases like HUB1 and HUB2 that ubiquitinate histone 2B tails (H2Bub1). Although FLC is in an active state, there are repressive complexes present such as Polycomb Repression Complex 2 and some degree of lysine 27 methylation of histone 3 (H3K27triMea repressive modification) (b) During cold exposure, FLC repression is initiated. VIN3 is induced, VIN3 and VIL1/VRN5 associate with the Polycomb complex, the density of repressive chromatin modifications such as lysine 27 methylation of histone 3 increases, and repressors such as LIKE HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN 1 (LHP1) assemble on FLC chromatin. (c) As vernalization proceeds, the density of repressive modifications, particularly H3K27triMe and lysine 9 methylation of histone 3 H3K9triMe; mediated by an unknown H3K9 methyltransferase (HMTase) increases. (d) Eventually, a mitotically stable state of repression that no longer requires VIN3 is achieved. This mitotically stable state is likely to involve positive feedback loops in which the repressive chromatin modifications serve to recruit the chromatin-modifying complexes including VRN1 to maintain a repressive state. As the FLC locus passes to the next generation, the active chromatin state represented in (a) is re-established 高高级级植物生理学植物的生殖生理植物生理学植物的生殖生理课课件件Hormone GA regulates flowering timeGA1: an enzyme involved in GA biosynthesisga1: In addition to the dwarf phenotype, the mutant flowers late under LD conditions and does not flower under SD conditions.GA treatment promotes flowering time. 47高高级级植物生理学植物的生殖生理植物生理学植物的生殖生理课课件件Flower development in ArabidopsisVegetative meristemInflorescence meristemFloral meristemFlower: sepals, petals, stamens, and carpelsTransition to reproduction: Genes & other factorsFlower organ development:Organ identity genes48高高级级植物生理学植物的生殖生理植物生理学植物的生殖生理课课件件高高级级植物生理学植物的生殖生理植物生理学植物的生殖生理课课件件One of the early successes of the application of molecular genetics to study plant development was the discovery of a series of genes that act together, in an apparently simple combinatorial model, to specify the identity of the different organs of a flower.
