Plants grow in dynamic environments where they can be exposed to a multitude of stressful
factors, all of which affect their development, yield, and, ultimately, reproductive success …

Plants as sessile organisms have remarkable developmental plasticity ensuring heir
continuous adaptation to the environment. An extreme example is somatic embryogenesis …

Chromatin regulation is essential to regulate genes and genome activities. In plants, the
alteration of histone modification and DNA methylation are coordinated with changes in the …

Plants are sessile organisms that need to adapt to constantly changing environmental
conditions. Unpredictable climate change places plants under a variety of abiotic stresses …

Ten years after the first overview of a complete plant Hsf family was presented for
Arabidopsis thaliana by Nover et al.[1], we compiled data for 252 Hsfs from nine plant …

Switching from repressed to active status in chromatin regulation is part of the critical
responses that plants deploy to survive in an ever-changing environment. We previously …

The sessile lifestyle of plants requires them to cope with stresses in situ. Plants overcome
abiotic stresses by altering structure/morphology, and in some extreme conditions, by …

Plants have evolved a number of different mechanisms to respond and to adapt to abiotic
stress for their survival. However, the regulatory mechanisms involved in coordinating …

The relationship between genotype (which is inherited) and phenotype (the target of
selection) is mediated by environmental inputs on gene expression, trait development, and …

Reversible histone acetylation and deacetylation at the N-terminus of histone tails play
crucial roles in regulation of eukaryotic gene activity. Acetylation of core histones usually …
