Expression reprogramming directed by transcription factors is a primary gene regulation
underlying most aspects of the biology of any organism. Our views of how gene regulation is …

Background Eukaryotic genomes are partitioned into euchromatic and heterochromatic
domains to regulate gene expression and other fundamental cellular processes. However …

Background Maize ears and tassels are two separate types of inflorescence which are
initiated by similar developmental processes but gradually develop distinct architectures …

Background Regulation of transcription depends on interactions between cis-regulatory
elements (CREs) and regulatory proteins. Active CREs are imbedded in open chromatin that …

Deep sequencing of DNase-I treated chromatin (DNase-seq) can be used to identify DNase
I-hypersensitive sites (DHSs) and facilitates genome-scale mining of de novo cis-regulatory …

Background Our understanding of how the complexity of the wheat genome influences the
distribution of chromatin states along the homoeologous chromosomes is limited. Using a …

Background The functional genome of agronomically important plant species remains
largely unexplored, yet presents a virtually untapped resource for targeted crop …

Transcriptional regulation is a complex and dynamic process that plays a vital role in plant
growth and development. A key component in the regulation of genes is transcription factors …

Limited information is available on abiotic stress-mediated alterations of chromatin
conformation influencing gene expression in plants. In order to characterize the effect of …
