Natural environments require organisms to possess robust mechanisms allowing responses to seasonal trends. In Arabidopsis halleri , the flowering regulator AhgFLC shows upregulation and downregulation phases along with long-term past temperature, but the underlying machinery remains elusive. Here, w...
