Phosphorylation of Histone H2A at Serine 95 Is Essential for Flowering Time and Development in Arabidopsis

Phosphorylation of H2A at serine 95 (H2AS95ph) mediated by MLK4 promotes flowering and H2A.Z deposition. However, little is known about MLK1, MLK2, and MLK3 during the flowering time. Here, we systemically analyze the functions of MLK family in flowering time and development. Mutation in MLK3, but n...
