3D epigenome architecture orchestrates cis and trans regulation of flowering time in rice
Our findings elucidate a multi-dimensional topological framework of H3K27me3-associated loci in rice and identify a spatial flowering gene cluster regulated by the phase-separated repressor complex of Ghd7, Ghd8, and Hd1. These results expand our knowledge of the structural basis of the three-dimensional genome governing the transcriptional coordination of florigens in rice.
