Abstract
Wasabi (Wasabia japonica) is a commercially important crop in Japan. We isolated a FLC ortholog from wasabi and named as WjFLC. Predicted amino acid sequence encoded by WjFLC showed 89% identity with FLC of arabidopsis and conserved the MADS box motif. WjFLC was expressed in young and mature leaves, apical region of lateral bud, rhizome, and root. The expression of WjFLC was high in October and reduced in November when flower buds are formed in wasabi. WjFLC may be useful in monitoring the flowering response in wasabi.
