Salt stress remains a critical challenge for plant growth, especially in crops like pea (Pisum sativum L.). This study explores the role of histone modifications in regulating pea's response to salt ...

Histone modification is an epigenetic mechanism that regulates gene expression by altering chromatin structure and DNA accessibility for transcription. Histone modification is regulated by various ...

Cellular metabolism shapes the epigenetic landscape by supplying substrates and cofactors for chromatin-modifying enzymes. Central metabolites such as acetyl-coenzyme A (acetyl-CoA), ...

Histone modification is an epigenetic mechanism that enables fine-tuning of gene expression. Mutation or dysregulation of proteins associated with histone modification (called “writers,” “erasers,” ...

Newswise — Fungal development, environmental adaptation, and pathogenesis all depend on the precise regulation of gene expression. Histone modifications and chromatin-binding proteins serve as key ...

Newswise — Min Zhang, Ting Hu, et al. have conducted a review entitled “Epigenetics and environmental health”. This review was published in Frontiers of Medicine, Volume 18, Issue 4. Epigenetic ...

While each cell contains the complete genetic blueprint of an organism, chemical marks on the DNA—so-called epigenetic modifications—control which genes are active when and where. A team led by ...

The role of epigenetic mechanisms in cancer has gained interest in recent studies. The reversible nature of epigenetic changes on genomic DNA and histones holds promise for the development of ...

Molecular biologists decode the epigenetic silencing of problematic retroviral gene sequences. LMU molecular biologist Gunnar Schotta decodes the epigenetic silencing of problematic retroviral gene ...
