In plant species, anthocyanin accumulation is specifically regulated by light signaling.
Although the CONSTITUTIVELY PHOTOMORPHOGENIC1/SUPPRESSOR OF PHYA‐105 …

Crown roots are the main components of root systems in cereals. Elucidating the
mechanisms of crown root formation is instrumental for improving nutrient absorption, stress …

Heterochromatin de-condensation in companion gametic cells is conserved in both plants
and animals. In plants, microspore undergoes asymmetric pollen mitosis (PMI) to produce a …

Meiosis is a distinctive type of cell division that reorganizes genetic material between
generations. The initial stages of meiosis consist of several crucial steps which include …

Seed vigor has major impact on the rate and uniformity of seedling growth, crop yield, and
quality. However, the epigenetic regulatory mechanism of crop seed vigor remains unclear …

In eukaryotes, topologically associating domains (TADs) organize the genome into
functional compartments. While TAD-like structures are common in mammals and many …

Plants have evolved sophisticated DNA repair mechanisms to cope with the deleterious
effects of ultraviolet (UV)-induced DNA damage. Indeed, DNA repair pathways cooperate …

Histone modifications play critical roles in plant growth and development. Crossing‐over
(CO) during meiosis, which constitutes a fundamental process ensuring sexual transmission …

In higher plants, sexual reproduction is characterized by meiosis of the first cells of the
germlines, and double fertilization of the egg and central cell after gametogenesis. In …
