Flowering plants, or angiosperms, consist of more than 300,000 species, far more than any
other land plant lineages. The accumulated evidence indicates that multiple ancient …

Wood quality is predominantly determined by the amount and the composition of secondary
cell walls (SCWs). Consequently, unraveling the molecular regulatory mechanisms …

Phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL) is the first enzyme in the phenylpropanoid pathway
and plays a vital role in adoption, growth, and development in plants but in wheat its …

Methylation of Lys residues in the tail of the H3 histone is a key regulator of chromatin state
and gene expression, conferred by a large family of enzymes containing an evolutionarily …

GRAS genes belong to a gene family of transcription regulators that function in the
regulation of plant growth and development. Our knowledge about the expansion and …

Plants control expression of their genes in a way that involves manipulating the chromatin
structural dynamics in order to adapt to environmental changes and carry out developmental …

Being sessile organisms, plants are exposed to multiple stimuli without possibility for
escape. Therefore, plants have evolved to be able to adapt their developmental and …

R2R3-type MYB transcription factors are implicated in drought stress, which is a primary
factor limiting the growth and development of woody plants. The identification of R2R3-MYB …

Prunus mume is an important woody plant that has high ornamental and economic value,
widely distributed and used in landscape architecture in East Asia. In plants, basic (region) …

In eukaryotes, histone H3 lysine 9 methylation (H3K9me) mediates the silencing of invasive
and repetitive sequences by preventing the expression of aberrant gene products and the …
