Abstract excerpt
Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins form an epigenetic memory system that is conserved in plants and animals and controls gene expression during development. Loss of plant PcG proteins leads to loss of organ identity and to cell overproliferation. Our understanding of plant PcG protein function has recently been advanced by the identification of additional proteins required for transcriptional repression by PcG and by...
