abnormal chromatin silencing decreased gene silencing decreased chromatin silencing A cellular process phenotype observed in the vegetative growth phase of the life cycle in which chromatin silencing is decreased. 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). midori reduced 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).
