摘要:
Histone methylation plays crucial roles in epigenetic regulation. The SET domain proteins are now recognized as generally having methyltransferase activity targeted to specific lysine residues of histones. The enzymes and their specific histone lysine methylation have enormous impacts on the regulation of chromatin structure and function. In this review, we discuss recent advances made on histone lysine methylations and their diverse functions in plant growth and development.
