Photoperiodic Regulation of Flowering Time through Periodic Histone Deacetylation of the Florigen Gene FT

The seasonal cue day length regulates the timing of the floral transition in plants through periodic histone modifications of the FT gene, which encodes a flowering signal in plants. These modifications dampen FT expression at dusk to prevent precocious flowering.
