Thus plant stem cells depend on the function of other ... Polycomb proteins are used to maintain a repressive chromatin state in both kingdoms but appear to function differently in the stem ...

A team of researchers led by Prof. XIAO Jun from the Institute of Genetics and Developmental Biology (IGDB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has discovered a new way in which temperature can ...

To accomplish this, the plant relies on two groups of proteins that silence gene expression: the Polycomb repressive complexes PRC1 and PRC2. These complexes modify the structure of chromatin ...
