High CO2 adaptation mechanisms revealed in the miR156-regulated flowering time pathway.

ABSTRACT: Elevated CO2 concentrations have been observed to accelerate flowering time in Arabidopsis through the action of a highly conserved regulatory network controlled by miR156 and miR172. However, the network's robustness to the impact of increasing CO2 concentrations on flowering time remains poorly understood. In this study, we investigate this question by conducting a comprehensive analysis of the global landscape of network dynamics, including quantifying the probabilities associated with juvenile and flowering states and assessing the speed of the transition between them. Our findings reveal that a CO2 concentration range of 400-800ppm only mildly advances flowering time, contrasting with the dramatic changes from 200 to 300ppm. Notably, the feedback regulation of miR156 by squamosal prom
