Priming reflects the capacity of plants to memorise environmental stress experience and
improve their response to recurring stress. Epigenetic modifications in DNA and associated …

Chromatin plays a crucial role in genome compaction and is fundamental for regulating
multiple nuclear processes. Nucleosomes, the basic building blocks of chromatin, are …

Eukaryotic DNA is packaged into chromatin in the nucleus, restricting the binding of
transcription factors (TFs) to their target DNA sites. FOXA1 functions as a pioneer TF to bind …

Nucleosomes, the basic structural units of chromatin, hinder recruitment and activity of
various DNA repair proteins, necessitating modifications that enhance DNA accessibility …

In plants, small-interfering RNAs (siRNAs) mediate epigenetic silencing via the RNA-
directed DNA methylation (RdDM) pathway, which is particularly prominent during …

Membraneless biomolecular condensates play important roles in both normal biological
activities and responses to environmental stimuli in living organisms. Liquid‒liquid phase …

In the eukaryotic nucleus, heterochromatin forms highly condensed, visible foci known as
heterochromatin foci (HF). These HF are enriched with linker histone H1, a key player in …

Background Epigenetic marks are reprogrammed during sexual reproduction. In flowering
plants, DNA methylation is only partially remodeled in the gametes and the zygote …

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 …

Cold stress is one of the major abiotic stress factors affecting rice growth and development,
leading to significant yield loss in the context of global climate change. Exploring natural …
