Our lab studies the chromatin regulatory mechanisms that control stress tolerance in plants. Chromatin is a highly organized structure that can be modified in order to modulate the expression of genes. This control can be enacted via DNA methylation and/or through various types of histone modifications and nucleosome remodelling. These modifications can affect gene expression by changing the local chromatin state from either an “open” (transcriptionally active) or “closed” (transcriptionally repressed) configuration and vice versa.
