normal cellular process during vegetative growth normal chromatin silencing Chromatin silencing phenotypes may reflect the assembly or maintenance of heterochromatin or CENP-A-containing chromatin. See the GO cellular component terms 'heterochromatin' (GO:0000792) and 'CENP-A containing chromatin' (GO:0061638), and the biological process terms 'heterochromatin organization' (GO:0070828) and 'CENP-A containing chromatin organization' (GO:0061641). A transcription regulation phenotype observed in the vegetative growth phase of the life cycle in which chromatin silencing is normal (i.e. indistinguishable from wild type). Chromatin silencing is the observed effect of processes that repress transcription in a region of the genome that is normally assembled into heterochromatin or CENP-A-containing chromatin (the latter is found at the centromere central core). 2013-07-09T13:52:25Z normal chromatin silencing during mitotic cell cycle normal chromatin silencing during vegetative growth midori FYPO:0002335
