During recent years rice genome-wide epigenomic information such as DNA methylation
and histone modifications, which are important for genome activity has been accumulated …

Histone modifications affect gene expression level. Several studies have shown that they
may play key roles in regulating gene expression in plants under abiotic stress, but genome …

Arabidopsis thaliana endosperm, a transient tissue that nourishes the embryo, exhibits
extensive localized DNA demethylation on maternally inherited chromosomes …

While previous studies have shown that histone modifications could influence plant growth
and development by regulating gene transcription, knowledge about the relationships …

Plant and animal centromeres comprise megabases of highly repeated satellite sequences,
yet centromere function can be specified epigenetically on single-copy DNA by the presence …

DNA methylation is involved in the control of plant development and adaptation to the
environment through modifications of chromatin compaction and gene expression. In poplar …

DNA transfer from chloroplasts and mitochondria to the nucleus is ongoing in eukaryotes but
the mechanisms involved are poorly understood. Mitochondrial DNA was observed to …

Conserved non-coding sequences (CNS) are islands of non-coding sequence that, like
protein coding exons, show less divergence in sequence between related species than …

The nucleosome is a fundamental structural and functional chromatin unit that affects nearly
all DNA-templated events in eukaryotic genomes. It is also a biochemical substrate for …

Tissue formation, the identity of cells, and the functions they fulfill, are results of gene
regulation. The male gametophyte of plants, pollen, is outstanding in this respect as several …
