Supplemental Experimental Procedures RT-qPCR Analysis Possible contamination from genomic DNA during the RNA extraction was removed by treating with RNase-free DNase I (Roche) for 1 h at 37ºC before RT. The first cdna strand was synthesized using M-MuLV reverse transcriptase (Fermentas) according to the manufacturer s recommendation using 3 µg of total RNA. qpcr was performed with the Applied Biosystems 7300 real-time PCR system using the SYBR Green I master mix (Kappa) in a volume of 20 µl. A comparative ΔΔC T method was used to calculate the relative amount of DNA. Normalization was to ACT2. All the RT-qPCR results were presented as means + sd of three biological replicates performed in triplicate. For the RT-qPCR experiments in Figures 3 and 6, seeds were imbibed for 1 h in the dark and were treated with FR for 5 min with (R) or without (F) a subsequent 5 min of R treatment. Then, the seeds were incubated in the dark for 12 h and were used for RNA extraction. Primers used for RT-qPCR or RT-PCR assays are as following.

FLC TTGCATCACTCTCGTTTACCC GCGTCACAGAGAACAGAAAGC In Vitro Histone Demethylase Assay 1 or 2 µg of purified JMJ20:6xHis was incubated with 2 µg of calf thymus histone type II-A (Sigma-Aldrich) in demethylation reaction buffer (50 mm HEPES-KOH ph 8.0, 20 µm (NH 4 ) 2 Fe(SO 4 ) 2, 1 mm 2-oxoglutarate, 500 µm ascorbic acid) for 12 h at 37ºC. Histone methylation levels were measured by western blot using the following antibodies: α- H3R2me2 (Upstate 07-585), α-h3k4me3 (Cell signaling #9727), α-h3k9me2 (Upstate 07-521), α-h3k9me3 (Upstate 07-523), α-h3k27me3 (Upstate 07-449), α-h3k36me2 (Upstate 07-369), α-h3k36me3 (Upstate 07-549), α-h3 (Abcam ab1791), α-h4r3me1 (Abcam 17339), α-h4r3me2s (Abcam ab5823), and α-h4 (Abcam ab7311). Yeast One-hybrid Assay For the reporter constructs, 1-kb and 2-kb promoter regions of JMJ20 and JMJ22 were PCR amplified and cloned into placzi (Clonetech) at the EcoRI and SalI sites. AD constructs were generated by cloning the coding regions of SOM into pb42ad (Clonetech) at the XhoI site. As the induction of the full-length SOM protein resulted in the lethality of yeast cells, we also generated the deleted versions of AD:SOM proteins. Both the reporter and AD plasmids were co-transformed into yeast strain EGY48, and the co-transformed cells were selected on SD media lacking L-Uracil and L-Tryptophan. Selected yeast colonies were spotted on galactose and 5-bromo-4-chloro-indolyl-galactopyranoside (X-Gal)-containing media, and tested for their β-galactosidase activity. Sequences of primers used for constructions are available on request. 10
