Abstract excerpt
Polycomb group genes play crucial roles in the maintenance of the transcriptionally silenced state of genes for proper cell differentiation in animals and plants. While components of the polycomb repressive complex2 (PRC2) are evolutionarily conserved and their functions are extensively studied in plants, PRC1 differs considerably between animals and plants, and its functions in plants are as yet not well...
