Chromatin remodeling in plants

Curr Opin Plant Biol. 2001 Dec;4(6):494-500. doi: 10.1016/s1369-5266(00)00206-5.

Abstract

In the past two years, a variety of forward genetic screens have revealed predicted plant chromatin remodeling components that are involved in either differential histone acetylation or ATP-dependent SWI2/SNF2-related complexes. Combined with the results of recent reverse genetic studies, these findings have begun to provide the groundwork for determining the function of chromatin-based control in plants.
