Core promoter acetylation is not required for high transcription from the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase promoter in maize

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>Acetylation of promoter nucleosomes is tightly correlated and mechanistically linked to gene activity. However, transcription is not necessary for promoter acetylation. It seems, therefore, that external and endogenous stimuli contro...
