Involvement of the Arabidopsis SWI2/SNF2 Chromatin Remodeling proteins AtBRM and AtSWI3C in Plant Abiotic Stress Responses
【摘要】:正Epigenetic mechanisms such as chromatin remodeling may have a vital function in regulating plant responses to abiotic stresses.AtBRM and AtSWI3C are the ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling proteins of the SWI/SNF family that contribute to the regulation of gene transcription by alteration of chromatin structure.The involvement of AtBRM and AtSWI3C in repression of seed maturation genes and activating flower homeotic genes in Arabidopsis thaliana has been documented.In this study,we investigate the involvement of AtBRM and AtSWI3C in plant abiotic
