Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 (PRC2) establishes H3K27me3 to regulate gene expression, yet how its genomic targeting is achieved in large crop genomes remains unclear. Cereal endosperm development relies on tightly coordinated transitions between mitosis and endoreduplication, which is essential for determining final kernel size. Here we identify the maize SUZ12 homolog EMF2b-1 as a key regulator of...
