Flowering Locus C
text:
Flowering Locus C (FLC) is a MADS-box gene that in late-flowering ecotypes of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana is responsible for vernalization. In a new seedling FLC is expressed, which prevents flowering. Upon exposure to cold, less FLC is expressed, and flowering becomes possible. FLC is extensively regulated through epigenetic modifications and transcriptional control. The expression of FLC is affected by other genes including FLK, FCA and VERNALIZATION2 (VRN2). Wild Arabidopsis plants have di
