Microclonal propagation of elite industrial grape cultivars (<i>Vitis vinifera</i> L.) by A. Yu. Fizikova

“…Due to certain biological characteristics of grapes, such as a long juvenile period (5–8 years), a high degree of genomic heterozygosity, and the frequently encountered phenomenon of inbred depression, when homozygotization during hybridization leads to a loss of viability and production characteristics of the cultivar, vegetative propagation becomes the basis for grape reproduction and industrial cultivation. …”

The PRC2.1 subcomplex opposes G1 progression through regulation of CCND1 and CCND2 by Adam D Longhurst, Kyle Wang, Harsha Garadi Suresh, Mythili Ketavarapu, Henry N Ward, Ian R Jones, Vivek Narayan, Frances V Hundley, Arshia Zernab Hassan, Charles Boone, Chad L Myers, Yin Shen, Vijay Ramani, Brenda J Andrews, David P Toczyski

“…We found that PRC2.1 (MTF2), but not PRC2.2 (JARID2), was critical for promoting H3K27me3 deposition at CpG islands genome-wide and in promoters. This included the CpG islands in the promoter of the CDK4/6 cyclins CCND1 and CCND2, and loss of MTF2 lead to upregulation of both CCND1 and CCND2. …”
