The ERA-NET PcG-code aims to achieve three interdependent objectives. First, based on knowledge provided by existing genomic datasets new genes will be discovered that play an important role in plant development. Second, the existing genomic datasets will be complemented in order to unravel Polycomb Group Protein complexity in plants. Last, the knowledge gap between chromatin control of transcription factor networks and downstream target genes will be closed in a case study of root development. The aim is to identify “realizator genes” that translate the developmental impact driven by Polycomb Group-controlled transcription factor networks to cellular function.
