“…In plants, H3K27me3 marked genes have very low expression levels and a high degree of tissue specificity, consistent with the function of H3K27me3 in maintaining gene repression during growth (Lafos et al, ; Turck et al, ; Wang et al, ; Zhang et al, ). Despite the fact that many genes dynamically regulated in response to environmental cues are marked by H3K27me3 (Charron, He, Elling, & Deng, ; Li et al, ), H3K27me3 itself does not interfere with or inhibits their transcriptional activation (Kwon, Lee, Choi, & Chung, ; Liu, Ding, Fromm, & Avramova, ; Liu, Fromm, & Avramova, ).…”
