Dissection of cell-type-specific chromatin access

Tian et al. Background: Flowering time plays an important role in plant reproductive success. In the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana, several flowering time pathways adjust flowering time in response to day length), hormones, and temperature (i.e. vernalization a period of cold). During photoperiodic…
