“…The flowering dicot model plant Arabidopsis thaliana has three E(z) paralogs (CURLY LEAF (CLF), SWINGER (SWN) and MEDEA (MEA)), three Su(z)12 paralogs (EMBRYONIC FLOWER 2 (EMF2), VERNALIZATION 2 (VRN2), and FERTILIZATION INDEPENDENT SEED 2 (FIS2)), one ESC homolog (FERTILIZATION INDEPENDENT ENDOSPERM (FIE)), and five p55 homologs (MULTICOPY SUPPRESSOR OF IRA (MSI1–MSI5)), of which only MSI1 is known to be present in PRC2 ([ 102 , 130 , 131 ], reviewed in the works of [ 29 , 132 ]). SWN and CLF play significant roles during vegetative development and phase transitions ([ 133 , 134 , 135 , 136 , 137 , 138 ], reviewed in the work of [ 47 , 48 ]), while MEA is required during gametophyte development and early embryogenesis [ 131 , 139 ]. Three PRC2 complexes have been identified in Arabidopsis defined by the presence of respective Su(z)12 homologs: EMBRYONIC FLOWER (EMF), VERNALIZATION (VRN), and FERTILIZATION INDEPENDENT SEED (FIS).…”
