Warm-Up
Take a moment to consider the following questions:
1. When have you ever given or received flowers?
2. What is your favorite flower, and why?
![Page 3: Flowering Lesson All Slides](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032122/55d3927cbb61eb2b5d8b46e2/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Your thoughts on flowers
When have you given or received flowers? Favorite type of flower?

Jean Giraudoux* on Flowers
“The flower is the poetry of reproduction.It is an example of the eternal seductiveness of life.”
*Jean Giraudoux
was a French poet in the early 20th century
Discuss the above quote with a partner. How does this quote connect with what we have already discussed about flowers?

What are flowers for?
We often think of flowers as a gift for someone special to us.
But plants make flowers for a really important reason that has nothing to do with people:
Flowers are the way that plants reproduce sexually.

Problem:
Global climate change affects when and how plants flower, which will also affect when and how they make fruit.

Problem:
Global climate change affects when and how plants flower, which will also affect when and how they make fruit.
In order to address these issues, we will need to study plants and how they grow, make flowers, and set
fruit.

What is the difference between these two plants?
Hypotheses about why these plants grow so differently:
These two plants are exactly the same with one exception. The plant on the right has a mutation in one of its genes.

Scientists have drills, too.
In biology, we use model organisms sort of like drills.
Instead of using a drill to break down one skill for the big game, we use model organisms to break down one part of the big question:
How do living things work?

Arabidopsis (Thale Cress)
• Small, fast-growing relative of broccoli, cauliflower, and mustard
• First plant genome sequenced• Small genome: only 5 pairs of
chromosomes (people have 23 pairs)
• Scientists use Arabidopsis to try to understand the biology of other plants, and even humans.

Comparing Google and ThaleMine
If you click on any one of these categories, you will only get results of the type that you requested.
Example: if you click on “Images” in Google, you will only get picture results. If you click on “Gene” in ThaleMine, you will only get gene results.
How many gene hits did we get by putting in the search term “flower?”

constans Gene page
Once you click on the constans gene page, there is A LOT of information! Let’s focus on three types of information about constans:
Genomics, Function, and Expression
![Page 54: Flowering Lesson All Slides](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032122/55d3927cbb61eb2b5d8b46e2/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)

Genomics: Where is this gene “written?”
Genomics shows where in the genome the constans gene is. You can scroll around to find genes that are nearby.
![Page 56: Flowering Lesson All Slides](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032122/55d3927cbb61eb2b5d8b46e2/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)

Function: What does this gene do?
In this section, you can look at what we think this gene actually does in the plant through brief descriptions called Gene Ontology or GO terms.
![Page 59: Flowering Lesson All Slides](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032122/55d3927cbb61eb2b5d8b46e2/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Function: What does this gene do?
Can you find any GO terms on the list that match up with what you saw in the video?
![Page 60: Flowering Lesson All Slides](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032122/55d3927cbb61eb2b5d8b46e2/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
Expression: Where does this gene work?
This map shows where (and when!) the constans gene is being expressed.
This information is gathered by measuring the mRNA transcripts of the constans gene in all of the plant parts shown in the image.
![Page 61: Flowering Lesson All Slides](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032122/55d3927cbb61eb2b5d8b46e2/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
What is gene expression?
What does it mean to express yourself?
A gene is encoded in DNA in the nucleus of the cell. In order for DNA’s message to be “heard” and executed in the cell, mRNA copies of the gene need to be made. How many mRNA copies of a gene that are made determines the level of gene expression.
![Page 62: Flowering Lesson All Slides](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032122/55d3927cbb61eb2b5d8b46e2/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
Gene Expression Analogy
Every gene must be expressed in the right place and at the right time in order for an organism to to function well.Similarly, each member of the marching band needs to be in the right place, at the right time, and playing the right note for us to see the T Rex and hear the music.
![Page 63: Flowering Lesson All Slides](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032122/55d3927cbb61eb2b5d8b46e2/html5/thumbnails/63.jpg)
It matters WHEN, WHERE, and HOW MUCH genes are expressed.
Would you tell someone goodnight at 9 a.m.? Would you say “congratulations” to a friend who just lost a basketball game?
It is not good for all cells in an organism to express all their genes at one time. Each type of cell has a different expression profile that describes WHEN, WHERE, and HOW MUCH a gene is expressed.
![Page 64: Flowering Lesson All Slides](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032122/55d3927cbb61eb2b5d8b46e2/html5/thumbnails/64.jpg)
What happens if genes are expressed in the wrong place, or at the wrong time?
![Page 65: Flowering Lesson All Slides](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032122/55d3927cbb61eb2b5d8b46e2/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
What happens if genes are expressed in the wrong place, or at the wrong time?
When gene expression goes wrong, it’s kind of like saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Awkward, right?
![Page 66: Flowering Lesson All Slides](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032122/55d3927cbb61eb2b5d8b46e2/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)

When gene expression goes wrong, it’s kind of like saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. Awkward, right?
*Sigh* I know what you mean, dude.
This fly has legs where its antennae should be because a gene that normally tells tissue to become legs is accidentally expressed where the antennae should be.

Expression: Where and when does this gene work?
This is a developmental map of Arabidopsis. You can see some familiar structures, like leaves and stems.
There are also some new structures, like siliques, which are like seed pods, and the shoot apex, which is where the plant grows most actively.

Warm Up
1. When do plants normally flower?
2. What are some factors that you think plants use to decide that it is time to flower?

Break down the Legend
1. Go to the overview pathway from the homepage.2. Look at the legend at the bottom of the page.
3. What do the following legend items mean?1. Genes/proteins2. Integrator genes3. Positive regulations4. Negative regulations
4. Work with your group to make sense of the legend and then we will discuss its meaning as a whole class.

Pathway Icons
What are some of the factors that influence flowering?
![Page 82: Flowering Lesson All Slides](https://reader031.vdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032122/55d3927cbb61eb2b5d8b46e2/html5/thumbnails/82.jpg)
What do the icons mean?
1. Work with your group using the tools at your disposal to decide what each of these flowering factor is, and what it does to the plant.
2. Use the icon names and images to start. You may use other resources to help you define these terms.
*It is okay to not know what something is!*
3. Try to connect your ideas about what each flowering factor is to what you already know about plants and living things. Does this factor make sense? Or does it surprise you?

Exit Slip: Proposal for further research
We will be breaking up into groups to further explore these flowering factors.With your group:1. Write a list of the top three factors you would
like to study.2. Write a proposal as to why you would like to
study this flowering factor. Your proposal should include:
1. At least one reason why this flowering factor is important.
2. At least one way that you could test the effect of this flowering factor on plant growth.

THE SOCIETY FOR FLOWERING PLANTS
All groups will be presenting their work at the annual meeting of the Society for Flowering Plants (SFP). • Presentations will be judged by your peers as well
as the leadership committee for the Society of Flowering Plants• Prizes will be given for presentations based on
their quality, clarity, and originality!• See the rubric for the judging criteria.
Good luck!
