When exposed to warmer, nonstressful average temperatures, some plant organs grow and
develop at a faster rate without affecting their final dimensions. Other plant organs show …

Highlights•GbM is typified by mCG within coding regions, and depletion at the TSS and
TTS.•Species without gbM revealed an unexpected role for CMT3 in the evolution of …

DNA methylation in promoters is well known to silence genes and is the presumed
therapeutic target of methylation inhibitors. Gene body methylation is positively correlated …

Temperature is a key environmental cue that influences the distribution and behavior of
plants globally. Understanding how plants sense temperature and integrate this information …

Most histones are assembled into nucleosomes behind the replication fork to package newly
synthesized DNA. By contrast, histone variants, which are encoded by separate genes, are …

Nucleosome remodelers of the DDM1/Lsh family are required for DNA methylation of
transposable elements, but the reason for this is unknown. How DDM1 interacts with other …

INTRODUCTION Epigenetic modifications to chromatin, such as the methylation of DNA
cytosines, carry regulatory information across the generations in plants and animals …

Chromatin regulation is essential to regulate genes and genome activities. In plants, the
alteration of histone modification and DNA methylation are coordinated with changes in the …

Understanding the systems-level actions of transcriptional responses to hormones provides
insight into how the genome is reprogrammed in response to environmental stimuli. Here …

The precise timing of cell cycle gene expression is critical for the control of cell proliferation;
de-regulation of this timing promotes the formation of cancer and leads to defects during …
