An oxygen-sensing Polycomb-group protein encodes flooding stress memory in plants

Aida Marić, Gabriele Meder, Carlos Rodriguez-Cisneros, Livia Schaub, Rory Osborne, Yixuan Fu, Sara Simonini, Daniel J. Gibbs, Sjon Hartman

This study identifies VRN2 as an oxygen-sensing PRC2 subunit that establishes adaptive flooding stress memory in plants by modulating chromatin and transcriptional responses.

CUT&Tag for high-resolution epigenomic profiling from a low amount of Arabidopsis tissue

Yixuan Fu, Marc W. Schmid, Sara Simonini

This paper demonstrates that CUT&Tag can achieve higher resolution epigenomic profiling in Arabidopsis than ChIP-seq, even from small tissue samples.

ALFIN-LIKE Proteins Orchestrate H3K4me3-H3K27me3 Crosstalk to Regulate Plant Embryogenesis

Janik Scotton, Yixuan Fu, Édouard Tourdot, Marc W. Schmid, Sara Simonini

This study identifies ALFIN-LIKE proteins as readers of H3K4me3 that antagonize H3K27me3 during Arabidopsis embryogenesis, revealing their role in shaping the epigenomic landscape and maintaining cell identity.
