Photosynthetic organisms are able to adjust to changing light conditions through state
transitions, a process that involves the redistribution of light excitation energy between …

Post‐translational modification of histones and DNA methylation are important components
of chromatin‐level control of genome activity in eukaryotes. However, principles governing …

Fruit-specific downregulation of the DE-ETIOLATED1 (DET1) gene product results in tomato
fruits (Solanum lycopersicum) containing enhanced nutritional antioxidants, with no …

Fibrillarin is a key nucleolar protein in eukaryotes which associates with box C/D small
nucleolar RNAs (snoRNAs) directing 2′-O-ribose methylation of the rRNA. In this study we …

Profiling of DNA and histone modifications has recently allowed the establishment of reference
epigenomes from several model organisms. This identified a major chromatin state for …

The spatial organization of chromatin can be subject to extensive remodeling in plant somatic
cells in response to developmental and environmental signals. However, the mechanisms …

To secure their access to water, light, and nutrients, many plant species have developed
allelopathic strategies to suppress competitors. To this end, they release into the rhizosphere …

In eukaryotes the primary cleavage of the precursor rRNA (pre-rRNA) occurs in the 5′
external transcribed spacer (5′ETS). In Saccharomyces cerevisiae and animals this cleavage …

In animals, distant H3K27me3-marked Polycomb targets can establish physical interactions
forming repressive chromatin hubs. In plants, growing evidence suggests that H3K27me3 …

Background Chromatin provides a tunable platform for gene expression control. Besides the
well-studied core nucleosome, H1 linker histones are abundant chromatin components with …
