Single-residue substitution in histone H3 leads to over-lignification in Arabidopsis
Plant Science Research WeeklyChromatin changes are at the core of plant development and adaptation, as they constitute a crucial layer of gene expression control. The effects of different chromatin marks have historically been studied through mutations to the protein complexes depositing and removing the marks, which results in…
EIN3/EIN3-LIKE1 modulate FLC expression via histone demethylase interaction
Plant Science Research WeeklyFlowering time is determined by both endogenous factors and environmental cues to ensure successful reproduction. ETHYLENE INSENSITIVE 3 (EIN3) and EIN3 LIKE 1 (EIL1) are transcription factors which are the key downstream regulators of ethylene signal transduction. Rapid flowering is promoted by the…
