Regular biography
Seo, Pil Joon is a professor in the Department of Chemistry at Seoul National University. His research focuses on chromatin dynamics and epigenetic regulation, particularly the role of chromatin modifications in gene regulation and their connection to DNA-dependent processes such as transcription, replication, DNA repair, and recombination. He investigates how chromatin modifications coordinate with chromatin factors to translate epigenetic information into gene expression. Additionally, he explores the relationship between 3D chromatin organization and epigenetic regulation. Seo's work includes studies on plant regeneration, circadian clock activity, and the molecular mechanisms underlying plant development and signaling.
Scholar-generated biography
Pil Joon Seo is a researcher at Seoul National University specializing in Plant Epigenetics, Plant Molecular Biology, and Plant Synthetic Biology. Their work focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying plant responses to environmental stresses, such as drought and cold, through the regulation of transcription factors and epigenetic modifications. Seo's research explores the roles of transcription factors like MYB96 and NAC in stress signaling pathways, including abscisic acid and salicylic acid biosynthesis. They also investigate the integration of photoperiodic and hormonal signals in flowering time regulation. Additionally, Seo examines the functional roles of microRNAs and their interactions with transcription factors in developmental transitions and stress responses.
