The complexity of the epigenome landscape and transcriptional regulation is significantly increased during plant polyploidization,which drives genome evolution and contributes to the increased adaptability to diverse ...
The photosynthetic plastid(chloroplast)arose more than one billion years ago,when a free-living cyanobacterium became a permanent endosymbiont and remodeled as an organelle in an ancient eukaryotic algal cell(Archibal...

RNA polymerase transcriptional pausing represents a major checkpoint in transcription in bacteria and metazoans,but it is unknown whether this phenomenon occurs in plant organelles.Here,we report that transcriptional ...
Transcription factors (TFs) are key cellular components that control gene expression. They recognize specific DNA sequences, the TF binding sites (TFBSs), and thus are targeted to specific regions of the genome where ...
