The ability of a seed to germinate and establish a plant at the right time of year is of vital
importance from an ecological and economical point of view. Due to the fragility of these …

All land plants so far examined use DNA methylation to silence transposons (TEs). DNA
methylation therefore appears to have been co-opted in evolution from an original function …

Understanding the systems-level actions of transcriptional responses to hormones provides
insight into how the genome is reprogrammed in response to environmental stimuli. Here …

Arsenic (As) negatively affects plant development. This study evaluates how the application
of silicon (Si) can favor the formation of adventitious roots in rice under arsenate stress (AsV) …

Background Transcriptional regulation is a key aspect of environmental stress responses.
Heat stress induces transcriptional memory, ie, sustained induction or enhanced re …

Histone modifications play a crucial role in the integration of environmental signals to
mediate gene expression outcomes. However, genetic and pharmacological interference …

The ability of cells to perceive and translate versatile cues into differential chromatin and
transcriptional states is critical for many biological processes,,,–. In plants, timely transition to …

For shade‐intolerant plants, changes in light quality through competition from neighbors
trigger shade avoidance syndrome (SAS): a series of morphological and physiological …

Selective, tissue-specific gene expression is facilitated by the epigenetic modification
H3K27me3 (trimethylation of lysine 27 on histone H3) in plants and animals. Much remains …

Genome-wide maps of chromatin states have become a powerful representation of genome
annotation and regulatory activity. We collected public and in-house plant epigenomic data …
