Reprogramming of Histone H3 Lysine Methylation During Plant Sexual Reproduction

Plants undergo extensive reprogramming of chromatin status during sexual reproduction, a process vital to cell specification and pluri- or totipotency establishment. As a crucial way to regulate chromatin organization and transcriptional activity, histone modification can be reprogrammed during spor...
