Given their sessile nature, plants have evolved sophisticated regulatory networks to confer
developmental plasticity for adaptation to fluctuating environments. Epigenetic codes, like tri …

Polycomb group (PcG) proteins constitute a major epigenetic mechanism for gene
repression throughout the plant life. For a long time, the PcG mechanism has been proposed …

Abstract The Polycomb group (PcG) gene products form multimeric protein complexes and
contribute to anterior-posterior (AP) specification via the transcriptional regulation of Hox …

Recent studies have shown that PRC1-like Polycomb repressor complexes
monoubiquitylate chromatin on histone H2A at lysine residue 119. Here we have analyzed …

From mammals to plants, the Polycomb Group (PcG) machinery plays a crucial role in
maintaining the repression of genes that are not required in a specific differentiation status …

Abstract Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is a rare developmental malformation
syndrome characterised by mental handicap, growth retardation, distinctive facial features …

Abstract Polyhomeotic-like 3 (PHC3) is a ubiquitously expressed member of the polycomb
gene family and part of the human polycomb complex hPRC-H. We found that in normal …

Reproduction by fertilization gives rise to evolutionary adaptation. All of the mechanisms that
underlie this process, such as the regulation of embryo formation and seed development …

Eggshell color is an important visual characteristic that affects consumer preferences for
eggs. Eggshell color, which has moderate to high heritability, can be effectively enhanced …

Polycomb repression controls regulation of hundreds of genes involved in development,
signalling or cancer and is mediated by essentially two classes of chromatin-associated …
