[Arabidopsis] ICAR 2012 workshop on Epigenetics and Epigenomics

[Doris Wagner]

Dear ICAR 2012 participants

I would like to inform you about a workshop on Epigenetics and Epigenomics to be held Thursday July 5th at the ICAR 2102 in Vienna from 4:30 to 6:00 pm in the Zeremoniensaal.

This workshop will highlight current research in Plant Epigenetics/Epigenomics (see program below) and will provide an update of the activities of EPIC (Epigenomics of Plants International Consortium). 
The following links provide additional information about EPIC: https://www.plant-epigenome.org/
 and EPIC's goals: http://www.plantcell.org/content/early/2012/06/28/tpc.112.100636

Enhanced expression of epigenetic regulators safeguards transmission of transcriptional gene silencing in the shoot apical meristem

Fredy Barneche (IBENS, France)
Fine-tuning of gene expression during DE-ETIOLATION through histone H2B ubiquitination

Franziska Turck (Max Planck Institute for Plant Breeding Research, Cologne, Germany)
Polycomb group proteins provide a structural scaffold to expose cis-regulatory elements that control tissue-specific and photoperoid-dependent regulation of Flowering Locus T
