Dr. Cristina Fernández Marco has completed, throughout 2011, the research “Epigenetic control of stem cell fate in plants”, carried out at the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in New York (USA). This research has shown how chromatin remodelling factors interact with DNA-binding proteins, eliminating active marks and, at the same time, maintaining the inactive marks that are necessary to repress the activity of stem cells during the process of cell differentiation in plants.
