Abstract excerpt
To examine the function of linker histone variants, we produced transgenic tobacco plants in which major somatic histone variants H1A and H1B were present at approximately 25% of their usual amounts in tobacco chromatin. The decrease in these major variants was accompanied by a compensatory increase in the four minor variants, namely, H1C to H1F. These minor variants are smaller and less highly charged than the...
