HighlightsThe autumn–spring distinction involves the transcriptional regulation of FLC.Thermosensing mechanisms at different timescales regulate VIN3 and FLC.Temperature-dependent growth serves as a mechanism to sense long-term temperatures.The ratchet-like property of FLC regulation realizes the robust perennial life cycle.Diverse mechanisms in the FLC regulation require formal ‘in natura’evaluations.Despite the similarity in temperature regimes between late autumn and early spring, plants exhibit distinct developmental responses that result in distinct morphologies, that is, overwintering and reproductive forms. In Arabidopsis, the control of autumn–spring distinction involves the transcriptional regulation of the floral repressor FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC). The memory of winter cold is registered as epigenetic silencing of FLC. Recent studies on A. thaliana FLC revealed detailed and additional mechanisms of silencing in response to autumn and winter cold. Studies on perennial Arabidopsis FLC revealed that its expression responds to spring warmth and is robustly upregulated, ignoring cold. These new studies provide mechanistic insights into the distinct regulation of FLC under autumn and spring temperature regimes.
