Plant noncoding RNA transcripts have gained increasing attention in recent years due to
growing evidence that they can regulate developmental plasticity. In this review article, we …

Abstract Information and function of a genome are not only decorated with epigenetic marks
in the linear DNA sequence but also in their non-random spatial organization in the nucleus …

INTRODUCTION Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is the most widely cultivated crop on Earth,
contributing about a fifth of the total calories consumed by humans. Consequently, wheat …

Roses have high cultural and economic importance as ornamental plants and in the
perfume industry. We report the rose whole-genome sequencing and assembly and …

In eukaryotes, three-dimensional genome organization is critical for transcriptional
regulation of gene expression. Long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) can modulate chromatin …

Advances in deciphering the functional architecture of eukaryotic genomes have been
facilitated by recent breakthroughs in sequencing technologies, enabling a more …

Background Polyploidy is ubiquitous in eukaryotic plant and fungal lineages, and it leads to
the co-existence of several copies of similar or related genomes in one nucleus. In plants …

Plant long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) have emerged as important regulators of chromatin
dynamics, impacting on transcriptional programs leading to different developmental outputs …

Gene silencing by Polycomb complexes is central to eukaryotic development. Cold-induced
epigenetic repression of FLOWERING LOCUS C (FLC) in the plant Arabidopsis provides an …

Background Cold stress can greatly affect plant growth and development. Plants have
developed special systems to respond to and tolerate cold stress. While plant scientists have …
