Abstract excerpt
Microscopically visible chromatin is partitioned into two major components in Arabidopsis thaliana nuclei. On one hand, chromocenters are conspicuous foci of highly condensed "heterochromatic" domains that contain mostly repeated sequences. On the other hand, less condensed and gene-rich "euchromatin" emanates from these chromocenters. This differentiation, together with the dynamic nature of chromatin compaction...
