Our Research
A central regulator in flowering and vernalization is FLC, which represses the floral transition. We are focusing on pathways that promote and repress FLC expression. It turns out that FLC regulation provides an excellent system in which to define conserved chromatin regulatory pathways. We aim to understand the molecular basis of these different pathways, how their interaction antagonistically regulates a common target and how this interaction changes throughout the life-cycle and during the evolution of different flowering variants.
