Seasonal Growth of Zygophyllum dumosum Boiss.: Summer Dormancy Is Associated with Loss of the Permissive Epigenetic Marker Dimethyl H3K4 and Extensive Reduction in Proteins Involved in Basic Cell Functions
Plants thriving in desert environments are suitable for studying mechanisms for plant survival under extreme seasonal climate variation.We studied epigenetic mechanisms underlying seasonal growth cycles in the desert plant Zygophyllum dumosum Boiss., which was previously shown Sensor Cable to be deficient in repressive markers of di-methyl and tri-
