• Memories of winter: vernalization and the competence to flower (2000, background): “The FLC gene encodes a MADS-domain-containing transcription factor (Michaels & Amasino 1999a; Sheldon et al. 1999) and FRI encodes a protein without significant identity to proteins of known function (Johanson et al. 2000).”

• Seasonal and developmental timing of flowering. (2010, background): “Thus, the ancestral state of A. thaliana was vernalization-requiring, and rapid-flowering types arose independently several times from loss-of-function mutations (Johanson et al., 2000).”
