Times Cited Count:4 Percentile:15.29(Biotechnology & Applied Microbiology)EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3) is a circadian clock protein with a major role in maintaining circadian rhythms in plants. In this work, was mutagenized by EMS in plants of the Lansberg background to isolate suppressors of and to understand the molecular mechanisms of flowering time controlled by ELF3. Two suppressors, obtained from this screen and from a precious study, were chosen for further analysis. Genetic mapping, gene expression analysis, and sequencing identified and as new alleles of and , respectively. Genetic interactions between and and between and in the control of the floral activator were also investigated. Six suppressor of were classified at least into four subgroups based on the expression of such floral regulators as GI, CO, FT, SVP, and FLC, and on their flowering times under LL, LD, and SD. This classification scheme is useful for the characterization of unidentified suppressor mutations.

EARLY FLOWERING 3 (ELF3) plays key roles in the control of light response, organ elongation, flowering time and circadian rhythms in Arabidopsis. ELF3 does not show significant homology to any other proteins in the public databases. Therefore biochemical function of the ELF3 has not been well understood. To understand molecular mechanisms underlying the a variety of phenotypes in the elf3 mutants, suppressors of elf3-1 were screened for, using the elf3-1 seeds mutagenized with heavy ion beams. Here we demonstrate that in one of the suppressor lines, S#20, early flowering, small cotyledon and pale green phenotypes of elf3-1 were suppressed, whereas long hypocotyl phenotype was enhanced. The recessive suppressor mutation was named suppressor of elf3 20 (sel20) and mapped to the upper side of Ch1. We have found 21-bp deletion in the FHA/CRY2 gene in the sel20. We will discuss possible roles of CRY2 in the multiple functions of ELF3.
