Key message We identified FLY as a previously uncharacterized RNA-binding-family protein that controls flowering time by positively regulating the expression of FLC clade members.The ability of flowering plants to adjust the timing of the floral transition based on endogenous and environmental signals contributes to their adaptive success. InArabidopsis thaliana, the MADS-domain protein FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) and the FLC clade members FLOWERING LOCUS M/MADS AFFECTING FLOWERING1 (FLM/MAF1), MAF2, MAF3, MAF4, and MAF5 form nuclear complexes that repress flowering under noninductive conditions. However, howFLM/MAFgenes are regulated requires further study. Using a genetic strategy, we showed that the previously uncharacterized K-homology (KH) domain protein FLOWERING LOCUS Y (FLY) modulates flowering time. Thefly-1knockout mutant andFLYartificial microRNA knockdown line flowered earlier than the wild type under long- and short-day conditions. The knockoutfly-1allele, a SALK T-DNA insertion mutant, contains an similar to 110-kb genomic deletion induced by T-DNA integration.FLCclade members were downregulated in thefly-1mutants andFLYartificial microRNA knockdown line, whereas the level of theFLCantisense transcriptCOOLAIRwas similar to that of the wild type. Our results identifyFLYas a regulator that affects flowering time through upregulation ofFLCclade members.
