Deskripsi
Plant regeneration can occur via formation of a mass of pluripotent cells known as callus. Here, Ishihara et al. show that acquisition of regenerative capacity of callus-forming cells requires a lysine-specific demethylase that removes H3K4me2 to prime gene expression in response to regenerative cues.
