As the process that silences gene expression ensues during development, the stage is set
for the activity of Polycomb-repressive complex 2 (PRC2) to maintain these repressed gene …

Woody perennials enter seasonal dormancy to avoid unfavorable environmental conditions.
Plant hormones are the critical mediators regulating this complex process, which is subject …

Abstract Brassica napus (2 n= 4 x= 38, AACC) is an important allopolyploid crop derived
from interspecific crosses between Brassica rapa (2 n= 2 x= 20, AA) and Brassica oleracea …

Bud dormancy is an adaptive process that allows trees to survive the hard environmental
conditions that they experience during the winter of temperate climates. Dormancy is …

Programmable gene regulators that can modulate the activity of selected targets in trans are
a useful tool for probing and manipulating gene function. CRISPR technology provides a …

Proline takes an exceptional place among the proteinogenic amino acids by its specific
accumulation in pollen and in response to multiple types of stress. Despite more than 50 …

Cold is a major stressor, which limits plant growth and development in many parts of the
world, especially in the temperate climate zones. A large number of experimental studies …

Phase separation of proteins/nucleic acids to form non‐membrane organelles is crucial in
cellular gene‐expression regulation. However, little is known about transcriptional regulator …

Polycomb-mediated epigenetic silencing is central to correct growth and development in
higher eukaryotes. The evolutionarily conserved Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) …

Being sessile organisms, plants are exposed to multiple stimuli without possibility for
escape. Therefore, plants have evolved to be able to adapt their developmental and …
