Title	Coordinate gene expression of five subclass histones and the putative transcription factors, HBP-1a and HBP-1b, of histone genes in wheat
Journal	Plant Molecular Biology
Year	1993
Volume	23
Pages	429-434

Abstract	The expression of genes encoding five histones (H1,H2A,H2B,H3 and H4) and the putative transcription factors HBP-1a (17) and HBP-1b (c38) was examined during early germination and in various tissues of young wheat seedlings The steady-state levels of core histone (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) mRNAs were coordinately cell cycle-dependent and paralleled the rate of DNA synthesis during early germination, whereas the expression pattern of the linker histone (H1) genes differed The five subclass histone genes were actively expressed in the meristematic tissues of young seedlings Moreover, H1 genes were expressed in leaves that consist mostly of non-proliferating cells, in which core histone genes showed little expression Quantitative alterations to the mRNAs of the putative transcription factors HBP-1a (17) and HBP-1b (c38) of wheat histone genes were similar to those of the core histone mRNAs, suggesting that both factors function in the cell cycle-dependent expression of wheat core histone genes
