Vernalization is the promotion of flowering after prolonged exposure to cold. In Arabidopsis thaliana , vernalization induces epigenetic silencing of the floral repressor gene FLOWERING LOCUS C ( FLC ). Among the repressive epigenetic marks, the trimethylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 proteins (H3...
