Abstract:
EARLY FLOWERING 5 ( ELF5 ) is a single‐copy gene involved in flowering time regulation in Arabidopsis . ELF5 encodes a nuclear‐targeted protein that is related to the human nuclear protein containing a WW domain (Npw)38‐binding protein (NpwBP). Lesions in ELF5 cause early flowering in both long days and short days. elf5 mutations partially suppress the late flowering of both autonomous‐pathway mutants and FRIGIDA ( FRI )‐containing lines by reducing the expression of FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) , a floral repressor upon which many of the flowering pathways converge. elf5 mutations also partially suppress photoperiod‐pathway mutants, and this, along with the ability of elf5 mutations to cause early flowering in short days, indicates that ELF5 also affects flowering independently of FLC .
