The phytohormone auxin regulates virtually every developmental process in land plants.
This regulation is mediated via de-repression of DNA-binding auxin response factors …

In eukaryotes, general transcription factors (GTFs) enable recruitment of RNA polymerase II
(RNA Pol II) to core promoters to facilitate initiation of transcription. Extensive research in …

We used chromatin immunoprecipitation, followed by microarray hybridization, to determine
the genome-wide distribution of the RNA polymerase (Pol) III transcription apparatus in the …

Synthetic targeted optimization of plant promoters is becoming a part of progress in
mainstream postgenomic agriculture along with hybridization of cultivated plants with wild …

The construction of synthetic gene circuits in plants has been limited by a lack of orthogonal
and modular parts. Here, we implement a CRISPR (clustered regularly interspaced short …

Synthetic gene circuits can enable new cellular behaviours by integrating multiple input
signals into customisable genetic programs. However, gene circuit development in plants …

For transcription initiation by RNA polymerase II (Pol II), all eukaryotes require assembly of
basal transcription machinery on the core promoter, a region located approximately in the …

NC2 (Dr1-Drap1 or Bur6-Ydr1) has been characterized in vitro as a general negative
regulator of RNA polymerase II (Pol II) transcription that interacts with TATA-binding protein …

An integral part of plant immunity is transcription reprogramming by concerted action of
specific transcription factors that activate or repress genes through recruitment or release of …

Fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) and assay for transposase-accessible chromatin
with high-throughput sequencing (ATAC-seq) were combined to analyse the chromatin state …
