Plant development processes are regulated by epigenetic alterations that shape nuclear
structure, gene expression, and phenotypic plasticity; these alterations can provide the plant …

Background The oxidation-reduction (redox) status of the cell influences or regulates
transcription factors and enzymes involved in epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation …

Shoot regeneration is mediated by the sequential action of two phytohormones, auxin and
cytokinin. However, the chromatin regulatory landscapes underlying this dynamic response …

Histone methylation plays a central role in regulating chromatin state and gene expression
in Arabidopsis and is involved in a variety of physiological and developmental processes …

The 3D chromatin organization plays a major role in the control of gene expression.
However, our comprehension of the governing principles behind nuclear organization …

Variation in the rates and characteristics of germline and somatic mutations across the
genome of an organism is informative about DNA damage and repair processes and can …

Flowering plants utilize small RNA (sRNA) molecules to guide DNA methyltransferases to
genomic sequences. This RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway preferentially …

Heterochromatic condensates (chromocenters) are critical for maintaining the silencing of
heterochromatin. It is therefore puzzling that the presence of chromocenters is variable …

Histone lysine methylation is a highly conserved epigenetic modification across eukaryotes
that contributes to creating different dynamic chromatin states, which may result in …

Budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae and fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe
are good models for heterochromatin study. In S. pombe, H3K9 methylation and Swi6, an …
