Fruit development is a complex process that is regulated not only by plant hormones and
transcription factors, but also requires epigenetic modifications. Epigenetic modifications …

Fruit ripening is a developmental process that results in the leaf-like carpel organ of the
flower becoming a mature ovary primed for dispersal of the seeds. Ripening in fleshy fruits …

We present high-resolution maps of DNA methylation and H3K4 di-and trimethylation of two
entire chromosomes and two fully sequenced centromeres in rice (Oryza sativa) shoots and …

Chromatin modifications–including DNA methylation, modification of histones and
recruitment of noncoding RNAs–are essential epigenetic events. Multiple sequential …

Genome-wide 70-mer oligonucleotide microarrays of rice (Oryza sativa) and Arabidopsis
thaliana were used to profile genome expression changes during light-regulated seedling …

Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are a group of RNAs greater than 200 nucleotides in
length exhibiting low or no coding potential that are involved in diverse biological functions …

Abstract NUCLEOSOME ASSEMBLY PROTEIN1 (NAP1) is conserved from yeast to human
and was proposed to act as a histone chaperone. While budding yeast contains a single …

Seed dormancy release of the obligate root parasitic plant, Phelipanche ramosa, requires a
minimum 4-day conditioning period followed by stimulation by host-derived germination …

Tomato fruit cells are characterized by a strong increase in nuclear ploidy during fruit
development. Average ploidy levels increased to similar levels (above 50C) in two distinct …

Rosaceae is a family with an extraordinary spectrum of fruit types, including fleshy peach,
apple, and strawberry that provide unique contributions to a healthy diet for consumers, and …
