Genome-wide identification of Gramineae histone modification genes and their potential roles in regulating wheat and maize growth and stress responses
Abstract Background In plants, histone modification (HM) genes participate in various developmental and defense processes. Gramineae plants (e.g., Triticum aestivum, Hordeum vulgare, Sorghum bicolor, Setaria italica, Setaria viridis, and Zea mays) are important crop species worldwide. However, littl...
