DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic modification that is important for gene regulation
and genome stability. Aberrant patterns of DNA methylation can lead to plant developmental …

Leaf growth initiates in the peripheral region of the meristem at the apex of the stem,
eventually forming flat structures. Leaves are pivotal organs in plants, serving as the primary …

Epigenetic marks are reprogrammed in the gametes to reset genomic potential in the next
generation. In mammals, paternal chromatin is extensively reprogrammed through the …

How different intrinsic sequence variations and regulatory modifications of histones combine
in nucleosomes remain unclear. To test the importance of histone variants in the …

DNA methylation is a major epigenetic modification found across species and has a
profound impact on many biological processes. However, its influence on chromatin …

The acquisition of germination and post-embryonic developmental ability during seed
maturation is vital for seed vigor, an important trait for plant propagation and crop production …

The DELLA genes, also known as 'Green Revolution'genes, encode conserved master
growth regulators that control plant development in response to internal and environmental …

Plants can sense temperature changes and adjust their development and morphology
accordingly in a process called thermomorphogenesis. This phenotypic plasticity implies …

Besides improved mineral nutrition, plants colonised by arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi
often display increased biomass and higher tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses …

The chromatin of flowering plants exhibits a wide range of sequence variants of the core and
linker histones. Recent studies have demonstrated that specific histone variant enrichment …
