Vernalisation-induced changes to the Arabidopsis circadian clock require Polycomb Repressive Complex 2 and are FLC-independent

Stephanie S I Williams, Miguel Montez, Emily Edwards, Pirita Paajanen, Antony N. Dodd

This study shows vernalisation alters the Arabidopsis circadian clock via PRC2, independent of FLC, and these changes persist after warming.

Chromatin retained MUSHER lncRNA integrates ABA and DOG1 signalling pathways to enhance Arabidopsis seeds dormancy.

Sebastian Sacharowski, Michał Krzysztoń, Lien K. Brzezniak, Karol Jerzy Rogowski, Miguel Montez, Katarzyna Rosol, Magdalena Wrona, Ruslan Yatusevich, Veena Halale Manjunath, Łukasz Szewc, Artur Jarmołowski, Szymon Świeżewski

The paper identifies MUSHER, a chromatin-retained lncRNA that integrates ABA and DOG1 pathways to enhance Arabidopsis seed dormancy through distinct mechanisms.

Cold-induced nucleosome dynamics linked to silencing of Arabidopsis FLC

Miguel Montez, Danling Zhu, Jan Huertas, Maria Julia Maristany, Bas Rutjens, Mathias Nielsen, Rosana Collepardo‐Guevara, Caroline Dean

The paper shows cold-induced changes in nucleosome dynamics at the FLC locus in Arabidopsis, leading to transcriptional repression through chromatin structure transitions.

A CPF-like phosphatase module links transcription termination to chromatin silencing

Eduardo Mateo‐Bonmatí, Miguel Montez, Robert Maple, Marc Fiedler, Xiaofeng Fang, Gerhard Saalbach, Lori A. Passmore, Caroline Dean

This paper shows how transcription termination via the CPF-like phosphatase module affects chromatin silencing of FLC in Arabidopsis, influencing flowering time.
