Journal Article Plant biology (Stuttgart, Germany) · October 2023 Reactive oxygen species (ROS) cause damage to various cellular processes in almost all organisms, in particular photosynthetic organisms that depend on the electron transfer chain for CO2 fixation. However, the detoxifying process to mitigate RO ... Full text CiteComprehensive Survey of ChIP-Seq Datasets to Identify Candidate Iron Homeostasis Genes Regulated by Chromatin Modifications.
Journal Article Methods in molecular biology (Clifton, N.J.) · January 2023 Vital biochemical reactions including photosynthesis to respiration require iron, which should be tightly regulated. Although increasing evidence reveals the importance of epigenetic regulation in gene expression and signaling, the role of histone modifica ... Full text CiteEducation, Training & Certifications
