Excellent work by the Gibbs lab! VRN2 regulates leaf growth through PIF.
Very happy to see our latest paper by @ROsborne_93 et al out today in @Dev_Cell. In this work we identify a role for VRN2-PRC2 in regulating light-responsive growth in Arabidopsis through the conditional epigenetic repression of PIF signalling.
