Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the roles of two paralogous genes in Arabidopsis that are part of the epigenetic machinery and reveals unequal functional redundancy between them through distinct mutant phenotypes.
- - Researchers used CRISPR/Cas to create specific mutants in a controlled genetic background, confirming that the observed phenotypes were consistent regardless of genetic variations.
- - An increase in sucrose in the growth medium helped alleviate the post-germinative lethality in certain mutants, which allowed for further analysis of their development and the establishment of the necessity of a specific genetic module for flower organ identity.
All critical developmental and physiological events in a plant's life cycle depend on the proper activation and repression of specific gene sets, and this often involves epigenetic mechanisms. Some mutants with disorders of the epigenetic machinery exhibit pleiotropic defects, including incurved leaves and early flowering, due to the ectopic and heterochronic derepression of developmental regulators. Here, we studied one such mutant class, the () loss-of-function mutants.
