Plants Containing Wild Type and Mutant FLC Gene (IMAGE)
Caption
The plants on the left contain the wild type FLC gene, so during a period of cold the protein VAL1 was able to identify the sequence, and bind to the FLC gene to initiate flowering. The plants on the right contain the mutation in the FLC gene which prevents VAL1 from recognizing its sequence and binding to the gene, hence the plant did not flower after a period of cold.
