Abstract
Plants undergo multiple developmental transitions during their life cycle and most of them are accompanied by various changes in the chromatin landscape, enabling global transcriptional modifications. Three major types of chromatin features, DNA methylation, histone modifications, and replacement of histone variants, act in concert to regulate chromatin accessibility and transcription. All three types of chromatin features have been found to dynamically accompany developmental and transcriptional transitions in plants and we discuss how they are coordinated and what mechanisms connect chromatin with transcription during key steps of plant development.
