Plant histone variants: deposition mechanisms, functional diversification, and translational prospects.
Histone variants are non-allelic isoforms of canonical histones that assemble into nucleosomes via replication-independent pathways, reshaping chromatin biophysical properties and transcriptional control at specific genomic loci. Constrained by their sessile lifestyle, plants have evolved a rich set of histone variants...
