The proper timing of flowering is critical for successful
reproduction. The perception of the seasonal cues of day-
length changes and exposure to cold influences flowering
time in many plant species through the photoperiod and
vernalization pathways, respectively. Here we show that
a plant homeodomain (PHD) finger-containing protein,
