Abstract

Polycomb group protein (PcG) complexes mediate epigenetic processes in plants as well as in animals. We discuss recent progress in understanding the varied roles that Polycomb complexes play in the epigenetic control of vernalization-the promotion of flowering by extended exposure to low temperature.

摘要

多梳蛋白（PcG）复合体在植物和动物中均介导表观遗传过程。我们讨论了在理解多梳复合体在春化作用（通过长时间暴露于低温促进开花）的表观遗传控制中所起的多种作用方面的最新进展。
