Chromatin dynamics of plant telomeres and ribosomal genes

M Dvořáčková, M Fojtová, J Fajkus - The Plant Journal, 2015 - Wiley Online Library
Telomeres and genes encoding 45S ribosomal RNA (rDNA) are frequently located adjacent
to each other on eukaryotic chromosomes. Although their primary roles are different, they …

Epigenetic regulation of telomere maintenance

M Fojtová, J Fajkus - Cytogenetic and genome research, 2014 - karger.com
As chromatin structures, telomeres undergo epigenetic regulation of their maintenance and
function. In plants, these processes are likely of a higher complexity than in animals or …
