Histones are integral components of eukaryotic chromatin that have a pivotal role in the
organization and function of the genome. The dynamic regulation of chromatin involves the …

Abstract Polycomb Group (PcG) histone-modifying system is key in maintaining gene
repression, providing a mitotically heritable cellular memory. Nevertheless, to allow plants to …

How different intrinsic sequence variations and regulatory modifications of histones combine
in nucleosomes remain unclear. To test the importance of histone variants in the …

The DELLA genes, also known as 'Green Revolution'genes, encode conserved master
growth regulators that control plant development in response to internal and environmental …

Abstract Changes in the cellular redox balance that occur during plant responses to
unfavourable environmental conditions significantly affect a myriad of redox‐sensitive …

The histone variant H2A. Z plays key functions in transcription and genome stability in all
eukaryotes ranging from yeast to human, but the molecular mechanisms by which H2A. Z is …

Arabidopsis seedlings exhibit rapid elongation of hypocotyls and cotyledon petioles in
response to environmental stresses, namely elevated temperatures and shade. These …

Chromatin structure and DNA accessibility are partly modulated by the incorporation of
histone variants. H2A. Z, encoded by the non-essential HTZ1 gene in S. cerevisiae, is an …

The histone variant H2A. Z is important for transcriptional regulation across eukaryotes,
where it can alternately promote or repress transcription. In plants, actively transcribed …

Histone variants are paralogs that replace canonical histones in nucleosomes, often
imparting novel functions. However, how histone variants arise and evolve is poorly …
