摘要

Our understanding of the detailed molecular mechanisms underpinning adaptation is still poor. One example for which mechanistic understanding of regulation has converged with studies of life history variation is Arabidopsis thaliana FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC). FLC determines the need for plants to overwinter and their ability to respond to prolonged cold in a process termed vernalization. This review highlights how molecular analysis of vernalization pathways has revealed important insight into antisense-mediated chromatin silencing mechanisms that regulate FLC. In turn, such insight has enabled molecular dissection of the diversity in vernalization across natural populations of A. thaliana. Changes in both cotranscriptional regulation and epigenetic silencing of FLC are caused by noncoding polymorphisms at FLC. The FLC locus is therefore providing important concepts for how noncoding transcription and chromatin regulation influence gene expression and how these mechanisms can vary to underpin adaptation in natural populations.
