In Arabidopsis, six major flowering pathways respond to changes in these factors （Fornara et al., 2010）. The photoperiod, vernalization, and ambient pathways monitor exogenous signals from the environment such as day length, minimum winter temperature, and ambient temperature （Fornara et al., 2010）. By contrast, the autonomous, gibberellin, and age pathways respond to endogenous cues linked to developmental status （Fornara et al., 2010）. Accumulating evidence indicates that the six flowering pathways converge in a network to regulate floral integrator genes FLOWERING LOCUS T （FT）, TWIN SISTER OF FT （TSF）, and SUPPRESSOR OF OVEREXPRESSION OF CONSTANS1 （Fornara et al., 2010）.展开更多

Accordingly, the function of these proteins is required for a wide variety of processes including stem cell differentiation, cell growth and division, body segmentation, and hematopoiesis. While most work on MLL-WRAD has focused on the function this core complex in histone methylation, recent studies indicate that MLL-WRAD proteins interact with a variety of other proteins and IncRNAs and can localize to cellular organelles beyond the nucleus. In this review, we focus on the recently described activities and interacting partners of MLL-WRAD both inside and outside the nucleus.展开更多
