Structural studies on Allium cepa L. chromatin: enhanced stability of internucleosome interactions in plant chromatin.

abstract：:Phosphate is essential for cell metabolism in all organisms. As it is often limiting in the soil, plants have evolved various mechanisms to cope with low-phosphate conditions. Here, we report that Aluminum Sensitive 3 and NAP3, two genes previously identified to function in aluminum tolerance, play a critical role in ...
