Stress induces plant somatic cells to acquire some features of stem cells accompanied by selective chromatin reorganization
24 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Previous data suggested that senescing cells or cells exposed to acute stress may acquire stem cell properties characterized by open chromatin conformation and by promiscuous expression of transcription factor genes. To further explore the link between stress response and dedifferentiation, we generated transgenic plants in which a reporter AtMBD6-GFP is controlled by a meristem-specific promoter...
