Molecular variation in a functionally divergent homolog of FCA regulates flowering time in Arabidopsis thaliana

Natural variation represents valuable source for gene discovery. Here, the authors show that a homolog of Flowering Control Locus A (FCA) functions in an antagonistic manner to FCA in regulating Arabidopsis flowering time through interacting with CUL1-E3 and modulating FLC expression.
