Eukaryotic genes are packaged into dynamic but stable chromatin structures to deal with
transcriptional reprogramming and inheritance during development. Chromatin remodeling …

Plant is endowed with sessile habit and nutrient acquisition mainly through the root organ,
which also provides an excellent model to study stem cell fate and asymmetric division due …

In eukaryotic organisms a wide range of regulatory mechanisms are required to complete
the developmental program. Recently, the information contained in the histone code has …

The continuity and plasticity of plant development rely on the regulation of meristem activity
in response to endogenous and environmental signals. Many plant development regulators …

In higher plants, pluripotent stem cells reside in the specialized microenvironment called
stem cell niches (SCNs) harbored at the shoot apical meristem (SAM) and root apical …

Eukaryotic chromatin is a highly structured macromolecular complex of which DNA is
wrapped around a histone-containing core. DNA can be methylated at specific C residues …

Pluripotent stem cells are able to both self-renew and generate undifferentiated cells for the
formation of new tissues and organs. In higher plants, stem cells found in the shoot apical …

The PLETHORA (PLT) stem cell transcription factors form a developmentally instructive
protein gradient in Arabidopsis thaliana roots. Histone acetylation is known to facilitate gene …

Epigenetics is defined as heritable changes in gene expression and genome integrity that
are accompanied by no alteration in DNA sequence. Throughout plant life cycle, many …

Root growth is modulated by environmental factors and depends on cell production in the
root meristem (RM). New cells in the meristem are generated by stem cells and transit …
