- Abstract
- Floral transition is accelerated by exposure to long-term cold like winter in plants, which is called as vernalization. Acceleration of floral transition by vernalization is observed in a diversity of biennial and perennial plants including Brassicaceae family plants. Scientific efforts to understand molecular mechanism underlying vernalization-mediated floral transition have been intensively focused in model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. To get a better understanding on floral transition by vernalization in radish (Raphanus sativus L.), we investigated transcriptomic changes taking place during vernalization in radish. Thousands of genes were differentially regulated along time course of vernalization compared to non-vernalization (NV) sample. Twelve major clusters of DEGs were identified based on distinctive expression profiles during vernalization. Radish FLC homologs were shown to exert an inhibition of floral transition when transformed into Arabidopsis plants. In addition, DNA region containing RY motifs located within a Raphanus sativus FLC homolog, RsFLC1 was found to be required for repression of RsFLC1 by vernalization. Transgenic plants harboring disrupted RY motifs were impaired in the enrichment of H3K27me3 on RsFLC1 chromatin, thus resulting in the delayed flowering in Arabidopsis. Taken together, we report transcriptomic profiles of radish during vernalization and demonstrate the requirement of RY motif for vernalization-mediated repression of RsFLC homologs in radish (Raphanus sativus L.).
