Polycomb (PcG) and Trithorax (TrxG) group proteins are evolutionarily conserved chromatin-
modifying factors originally identified as part of an epigenetic cellular memory system that …

Trees growing in boreal and temperate regions synchronize their growth with seasonal
climatic changes in adaptive responses that are essential for their survival. These trees …

Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) affect gene regulation through structural and regulatory
interactions with associated proteins. The Polycomb complex often binds to lncRNAs in …

Background How plants adapt their developmental patterns to regular seasonal changes is
an important question in biology. The annual growth cycle in perennial long-lived trees is yet …

The transition to flowering marks a key adaptive developmental switch in plants which
impacts on their survival and fitness. Different signaling pathways control the floral transition …

The long noncoding RNA COLDAIR is necessary for the repression of a floral repressor
FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) during vernalization in Arabidopsis thaliana. The repression …

Conserved genomic context provides critical information for comparative evolutionary
analysis. With the increase in numbers of sequenced plant genomes, synteny analysis can …

Histone methylation is known to dynamically regulate diverse developmental and
physiological processes. Histone methyl marks are written by methyltransferases and …

The number of times an organism reproduces (ie, its mode of parity) is a fundamental life‐
history character, and evolutionary and ecological models that compare the relative …

Abstract FLOWERING LOCUS M (FLM), a component of the thermosensory flowering time
pathway in Arabidopsis thaliana, is regulated by temperature-dependent alternative splicing …
