In March this year, the book “Plant Abiotic Stress Signaling” edited by Ivan Couée (University of Rennes, France) was published. The members of Biophysics team (A. Volná, J. Nezval, R. Pech, V. Špunda; Department of Physics) and colleagues from Department of Biology (M. Bartas, P. Pečinka, J. Červeň) contributed to this book by a chapter: “Beyond the Primary Structure of Nucleic Acids: Potential Roles of Epigenetics and Noncanonical Structures in the Regulations of Plant Growth and Stress Responses “
This chapter is primarily a summary of the current knowledge dealing with the epigenetic regulation of gene expression in plants, but it also discusses the importance of four-chain structures (quadruplexes) and the role that these structures might have in the regulation of gene expression (although they are not usually included among epigenetic regulation of gene expression). The chapter presents a summary of epigenetic regulation mechanisms affecting gene expression in response to different types of stress and their role in regulating of gene expression during plant development. Congratulations to all authors!
