Chromatin remodeling in plants has usually been discussed in relation to aspects of genome defense such as transgene silencing and the resetting of transposon activity. The role of remodeling in controlling development has been less emphasized, although well established in animal systems. This is because cell fate in plants is often held to be entirely specified on the basis of position, apparently excluding any significant role for cell ancestry and chromatin remodeling. We argue that…

Chromatin remodeling in plant development.
TLDR
Recent progress is highlighted in the understanding of plant chromatin dynamic organization, facilitating the activation or repression of specific sets of genes involved in different developmental programs and integrating them with the response to environmental signals.
Chromatin techniques for plant cells.
TLDR
To accommodate the burgeoning interest of the plant science community in the epigenetic control of plant development, a series of methods used routinely in laboratories have been compiled that can facilitate the characterization of putative chromatin-binding factors at the biochemical, molecular and cellular levels.

Chromatin dynamics and Arabidopsis development
TLDR
Chromatin dynamics represent the emerging and exciting field of gene regulation notably involved in plant developmental transitions and by comparing plant and animal systems, new insights into the molecular complexes and mechanisms governing development can be delineated.
Missing links between histones and RNA Pol II arising from SAND?
TLDR
The function of the SAND domain proteins ULTRAPETALA1 (ULT1) and Aire are discussed as molecular links between chromatin remodelers and transcription effectors.
Epigenetic inheritance of expression states in plant development: the role of Polycomb group proteins.
Genome-wide analysis and functional annotation of chromatin-enriched noncoding RNAs in rice during somatic cell regeneration
TLDR
CheRNAs are a distinct subclass of regulatory non-coding RNAs that are required for somatic cell regeneration and regulate rice traits, and support cis - regulatory roles of cheRNAs in influencing a variety of rice traits.
Epigenetics and its implications for plant biology. 1. The epigenetic network in plants.
TLDR
How epigenetic systems in plants were elucidated is addressed and there is a discussion on how the different components of the epigenetic system--regulating DNA methylation, histones and their post-translational modification, and pathways recognizing aberrant transcripts--may work together.
Arabidopsis Co-Repressor Complexes Containing Polyamine Oxidase-Like Proteins and Plant-Specific Histone Methyltransferases
TLDR
Understanding of the molecular mechanisms of transcriptional gene silencing in plants is very sparse and, because plants often utilize unique strategies to establish and maintain chromatin states, only limited use can be made of information available on epigenetic modifications in nonplant systems.

Plant Chromatin Structure and Post-Translational Modifications
TLDR
There are clear functional differences between plant and animal genomes, including the percentage of total DNA transcribed, levels of ploidy, and the pathways of morphogenesis and cell differentiation, so it is not surprising that differences are appearing between animal and plant chromatin.
PICKLE is a CHD3 chromatin-remodeling factor that regulates the transition from embryonic to vegetative development in Arabidopsis.
TLDR
It is proposed that PKL is a component of a gibberellin-modulated developmental switch that functions during germination to prevent reexpression of the embryonic developmental state.
Mutations in LIKE HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN 1 affect flowering time and plant architecture in Arabidopsis.
TLDR
The data suggest that LHP1 may act as a main regulator of gene expression in plants, through formation of heterochromatin-like repressive complexes, to control developmental pathways involved in organ and cell size, and the vegetative to reproductive phase transition.
Molecular genetic analysis of the drought-inducible linker histone variant in Arabidopsis thaliana
TLDR
None of the plants containing these transgenes display phenotypic aberrations or differences in water content during drought stress, and the expression of several drought-responsive genes is not significantly altered in lines misexpressing His1–3.

Architectural specificity in chromatin structure at the TATA box in vivo: nucleosome displacement upon beta-phaseolin gene activation.
TLDR
In vivo footprinting revealed that the lack of even basal transcriptional activity in vegetative tissues is associated with the presence of a nucleosome that is rotationally positioned with base pair precision over three phased TATA boxes present in the phas promoter.
Short-range control of cell differentiation in the Arabidopsis root meristem
TLDR
The data indicate that pattern formation in the root meristem is controlled by a balance between short-range signals inhibiting differentiation and signals that reinforce cell fate decisions, which are strikingly similar to examples in animal development, such as during delamination of Drosophila neuroblasts.
