| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Plant cells display remarkable plasticity, yet the potential needs to be controlled in the context of multicellular organisms. We have revealed that a histone modifier PRC2 plays key roles in the maintenance of cellular differentiation status. In this study, I further studied how PRC2 prevents proliferation of terminally differentiated cells. I also found an example of mitotic re-entry and cellular de-differentiation of fully differentiated cells, when plants are exposed to wounding stress.
