Disruption of gene silencing by Polycomb protein complexes leads to homeotic
transformations and altered developmental-phase identity in plants,,,,. Here we define short …

Phytochromes function as red/far-red photoreceptors in plants and are essential for light-

The first described feedback loop of the Arabidopsis circadian clock is based on reciprocal
regulation between TIMING OF CAB EXPRESSION 1 (TOC1) and CIRCADIAN CLOCK …

Polycomb-repressive complexes (PRCs) play key roles in development by repressing a
large number of genes involved in various functions. Much, however, remains to be …

Abstract LEAFY COTYLEDON2 (LEC2) is a master regulator of seed development in
Arabidopsis thaliana. In vegetative organs, LEC2 expression is negatively regulated by …

Background Amaranthus hypochondriacus, a grain amaranth, is a C4 plant noted by its
ability to tolerate stressful conditions and produce highly nutritious seeds. These possess an …

Fluorescence-based protein-protein interaction techniques are vital tools for understanding
in vivo cellular functions on a mechanistic level. However, only under the condition of highly …

Seed development is under tight spatiotemporal regulation. Here, we summarize how
transcriptional regulation helps shape the major traits during seed maturation, which include …
