This article focuses on the molecular and hormonal mechanisms underlying the control of
fleshy fruit ripening and quality. Recent research on tomato shows that ethylene, acting …

Tri‐methylation of lysine 4 on histone H3 (H3K4me3) is a near‐universal chromatin
modification at the transcription start site of active genes in eukaryotes from yeast to man …

Chromatin accessibility and modification is a hallmark of regulatory DNA, the study of which
led to the discovery of cis-regulatory elements (CREs). Here, we characterize chromatin …

Tea is among the world's most widely consumed non-alcoholic beverages and possesses
enormous economic, health, and cultural values. It is produced from the cured leaves of tea …

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mark involved in diverse biological processes.
In plants, DNA methylation can be established through the RNA-directed DNA methylation …

Histone methylation plays a fundamental role in regulating diverse developmental
processes and is also involved in silencing repetitive sequences in order to maintain …

Abstract DNA N 6-methyladenine (6mA) is a non-canonical DNA modification that is present
at low levels in different eukaryotes,,,,,,–, but its prevalence and genomic function in higher …

The behavior of transcriptomes and epigenomes in hybrids of heterotic parents is of
fundamental interest. Here, we report highly integrated maps of the epigenome, mRNA, and …

Background Post-translational modifications of histones play important roles in maintaining
normal transcription patterns by directly or indirectly affecting the structural properties of the …

Background Metal homeostasis is critical for plant growth, development and adaptation to
environmental stresses and largely governed by a variety of metal transporters. The plant …
