Vernalization is the promotion of flowering after prolonged exposure to cold. In , vernalization induces epigenetic silencing of the floral repressor gene ( ). The repressive epigenetic mark trimethylation of lysine 27 on histone H3 proteins (H3K27me3) is a critical contributor to the epigenetic sil...
