Article Synopsis
- Histone modifications (HMs) are important for plant growth and stress resistance, but their identification in medicinal plants like Aquilaria sinensis is limited, prompting this comprehensive study that identified 123 HMs.
- The research included evolutionary and functional analyses, including phylogenetic tree construction and the exploration of gene functions, to understand how these HMs might relate to agarwood formation and stress responses.
- Findings indicated that specific HMs are likely involved in the synthesis of agarwood compounds, supported by qRT-PCR analysis and RNA interference experiments, providing insight into epigenetic regulation in plants.
The LOB domain protein, a novel transcription factor with multiple functions: A review.
Plant Physiol Biochem
September 2024
The LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES DOMAIN (LBD) protein, named for its LATERAL ORGAN BOUNDARIES (LOB) domain, is a member of a class of specific transcription factors commonly found in plants and is absent from all other groups of organisms. LBD TFs have been systematically identified in about 35 plant species and are involved in regulating various aspects of plant growth and development. However, research on the signaling network and regulatory functions of LBD TFs is insufficient, and only a few members have been studied.
