Modulation of Ambient Temperature-Dependent Flowering in by Natural Variation of

English version České info

Plants control their flowering time in response to the temperatures of their environment, e.g. in response to the experience of winter or in response to cold and warm ambient temperatures experienced during spring. The knowledge about the evolutionary adaptation of plants to changing ambient temperatures is at present very limited. Understanding the latter is, however, becoming increasingly important due to the temperature changes associated with global warming and the anticipated changes in flowering time in ecosystems and agricultural systems. Here, we uncover an evolutionarily conserved molecular mechanism employed by Arabidopsis thaliana ecotypes for the adaptation of flowering time to cool temperatures. This structural change in the architecture of the gene FLOWERING LOCUS M can be found in multiple A. thaliana natural accessions and the knowledge gained in our study may be used to predict or modify flowering time in plants related to A. thaliana in the future.
