Mutually exclusive sense–antisense transcription at FLC facilitates environmentally induced gene repression
Abstract
Antisense transcription through genic regions is pervasive in most genomes; however, its functional significance is still unclear. We are studying the role of antisense transcripts ( COOLAIR ) in the cold-induced, epigenetic silencing of Arabidopsis FLOWERING LOCUS C ( FLC ), a regulator of the transition to reproduction. Here we use single-molecule RNA FISH to address the mechanistic relationship of FLC and COOLAIR transcription at the cellular...
