The process of acquisition of pluripotency involves silencing of genes to remove original tissue memory and priming for activation by external input. Led by Professor Sachihiro Matsunaga from Tokyo University of Science, a team of scientists have shown that plant regenerative capacity requires a certain <i>demethylase<\/i> that can prime gene expression in response to regenerative cues.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"text-justify:inter-ideograph\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">In multicellular organisms, not all genes are expressed in all cells, meaning that not all cells make the same enzymes or proteins, and therefore not all cells have the same metabolism. This differentiation is a key process across multicellular organisms, including plants and fungi. But as cells specialize, they become unipotent, meaning that they lose the ability to form multiple cell types. For long, scientists have tried to reprogram mammal cells for pluripotency by drastic means such as nuclear transfer and induction of transcription factors. However, plants can acquire the same regenerative powers via external signal input such as hormones and stress. A part of the phenomenon is regulated by epigenetics, because these modifications are <i>epi <\/i>or \u201cabove\u201d the genes. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"text-justify:inter-ideograph\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Professor Matsunaga and his team used <i>Arabidopsis thaliana<\/i>, a small flowering plant commonly used in plant biology, to study genome-wide histone modifications. Histones are proteins that package together eukaryotic DNA, preventing it from being transcribed or decoded. Upon being modified, however, these proteins\u2019 grasp around the DNA molecule loosens, making it easier for the DNA to be transcribed. The group of scientists found that it is the <i>demethylation <\/i>(the removal of a methyl group from the amino acid) of the histone H3 by the LDL3 enzyme that lends regenerative competency to the plant. This epigenetic mechanism allows the plant\u2019s pluripotent cells to go back to its unipotent state and thus assume the identity of shoot meristems for differentiated tissues including leaves and stems. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"text-justify:inter-ideograph\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Because no seeds are needed to grow these plants, this could potentially help scientists grow plants faster without flowering. \u201c<\/span><span lang=\"EN-IN\" style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\" xml:lang=\"EN-IN\">By strengthening the ability of plants to reproduce, even without seeds,\u201d Professor Matsunaga indicated, \u201cit is possible to increase the number of clonal plants with only leaves, stems, and parts of roots. It can address environmental problems by promoting greening and solve the global food problem by increasing production of grains and vegetables.\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><b><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Reference<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<table class=\"Table\" style=\"width:451.3pt; border-collapse:collapse; border:undefined\" width=\"602\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width:113.25pt; padding:0in 0in 0in 0in\" valign=\"top\" width=\"151\">\n<p style=\"margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">\u00a0Title of original paper:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width:338.05pt; padding:0in 0in 0in 0in\" valign=\"top\" width=\"451\">\n<p style=\"margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Primed histone demethylation regulates shoot regenerative competency<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width:113.25pt; padding:0in 0in 0in 0in\" valign=\"top\" width=\"151\">\n<p style=\"margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">\u00a0Journal:<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">\u00a0DOI: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td style=\"width:338.05pt; padding:0in 0in 0in 0in\" valign=\"top\" width=\"451\">\n<p style=\"margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><i><span style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">Nature Communications<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:10.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Arial&quot;,sans-serif\">10.1038\/s41467-019-09386-5<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p class=\"Default\" style=\"margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"Default\" style=\"margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\">The original article can be found on the Tokyo University of Science website <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tus.ac.jp\/en\/news\/items\/en_2019041701.pdf\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"text-justify:inter-ideograph\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><b><span style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\">About the Tokyo University of Science <\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify; margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt\"><span style=\"font-size:12pt\"><span style=\"text-justify:inter-ideograph\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif\"><span style=\"font-size:11.0pt\"><span style=\"font-family:&quot;Calibri&quot;,sans-serif\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tus.ac.jp\/en\/\">Tokyo University of Science<\/a> (TUS) is one of the most well-known, respected, and the largest science-specialized private research university in Japan, with four campuses in central Tokyo and its suburbs and in Hokkaido.
