Spatial and temporal patterns of gene transcription are critical to the various developmental periods of plants and animals.Transcriptional repression plays a significant role in creating and stabilizing these patterns.Polycomb-group (PcG) proteins are fundamental regulators of many developmental processes in plants and animals, and they also repress gene expression by imparting histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3).
