Temperature is a major factor governing the distribution and seasonal behaviour of plants.
Being sessile, plants are highly responsive to small differences in temperature and adjust …

Highlights•GbM is typified by mCG within coding regions, and depletion at the TSS and
TTS.•Species without gbM revealed an unexpected role for CMT3 in the evolution of …

Most histones are assembled into nucleosomes behind the replication fork to package newly
synthesized DNA. By contrast, histone variants, which are encoded by separate genes, are …

Chromatin regulation is essential to regulate genes and genome activities. In plants, the
alteration of histone modification and DNA methylation are coordinated with changes in the …

Ten years after the first overview of a complete plant Hsf family was presented for
Arabidopsis thaliana by Nover et al.[1], we compiled data for 252 Hsfs from nine plant …

Plants are highly sensitive to temperature and can perceive a difference of as little as 1° C.
How temperature is sensed and integrated in development is unknown. In a forward genetic …

As an essential plant macronutrient, the low availability of phosphorus (P) in most soils
imposes serious limitation on crop production. Plants have evolved complex responsive and …

Histones wrap DNA to form nucleosome particles that compact eukaryotic genomes. Variant
histones have evolved crucial roles in chromosome segregation, transcriptional regulation …

Global warming poses a major threat to plant growth and crop production. In some plants,
including Arabidopsis thaliana, elevated temperatures induce a series of morphological and …

PRDM9 directs human meiotic crossover hot spots to intergenic sequence motifs, whereas
budding yeast hot spots overlap regions of low nucleosome density (LND) in gene …
