Histone H3K9 demethylase JMJ25 epigenetically modulates anthocyanin biosynthesis in poplar

Summary Anthocyanins are involved in several aspects of development and defence in poplar ( Populus spp.). Although, over the past decades, significant progress has been made in uncovering these anthocyanin biosynthetic and regulatory mechanisms, the fundamental understanding of the epigenetic regulation in this pathway is still largely unclear. Here, we isolated a histone H3K9 demethylase gene JMJ25 from Populus and characterized its role in...
