Clustered organization of biosynthetic non-homologous genes is emerging as a characteristic feature of plant genomes.The co-regulation of clustered genes seems to largely depend on epigenetic reprogram-ming and three-...

In eukaryotes,the three-dimensional(3D)structure of the genome plays a critical role in the transcriptional regulation.Even though the 3D structure of the genome is mainly determined by DNA and protein components,incr...

Transcriptional regulation,determined by the chromatin structure and regulatory elements interacting at pro-moter regions,is a key step in plant responses to environmental cues.Nitrate(NO3-)is a nutrient signal that r...
As sessile organisms, plants display a high capacity for phenotypic adaptations allowing them to meet the constraints of a changing local environment. This plasticity notably originates from the aptitude of plants to ...

The steroid hormone brassinosteroid (BR) plays a broad role in plant growth and development. As the retarded growth in BR-insensitive and BR-deficient mutants causes a strong delay in days to flowering, BR signaling...
