Abstract:The termination of floral meristems is regulated by the MADS domain transcription factor AGAMOUS (AG) by passively diluting the H3K27me3 mark along the KNUCKLES (KNU) coding sequence. How many other downstream genes are similarly regulated by this intrinsic epigenetic timer and whether it can be harnessed for engineering synthetic circuits are unknown. Here, we describe a biotimer gene regulatory network downstream of AG and manipulate the timing of KNU expression through a synthetic system. We manipulated tem… Show more
