Mutually exclusive sense–antisense transcription at FLC facilitates environmentally induced gene repression

Antisense transcription from genic regions is a common phenomenon. Here Rosa et al. use single molecule FISH to show that during vernalization in Arabidopsis, cold-induced antisense transcription of COOLAIR is mutually exclusive to sense-strand transcription of the flowering regulator FLCfrom the sa...
