Plant genomes are so highly diverse that a substantial proportion of genomic sequences are
not shared among individuals. The variable DNA sequences, along with the conserved core …

Endoreduplication is the major source of somatic endopolyploidy in higher plants, and leads
to variation in cell ploidy levels due to iterative rounds of DNA synthesis in the absence of …

The transcription regulatory network inside a eukaryotic cell is defined by the combinatorial
actions of transcription factors (TFs). However, TF binding studies in plants are too few in …

The eukaryotic genome has a hierarchical three-dimensional (3D) organization with
functional implications for DNA replication, DNA repair, and transcriptional regulation. Over …

Background The three-dimensional spatial organization of the genome plays important roles
in chromatin accessibility and gene expression in multiple biological processes and has …

While colocalization within a bacterial operon enables coexpression of the constituent
genes, the mechanistic logic of clustering of nonhomologous monocistronic genes in …

Background Polyploidization and introgression are major events driving plant genome
evolution and influencing crop breeding. However, the mechanisms underlying the higher …

Insight into high-resolution three-dimensional genome organization and its effect on
transcription remains largely elusive in plants. Here, using a long-read ChIA-PET approach …

Background Although spatial organization of compartments and topologically associating
domains at large scale is relatively well studied, the spatial organization of regulatory …

Background Despite remarkable advances in our knowledge of epigenetically mediated
transcriptional programming of cell differentiation in plants, little is known about chromatin …
