DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic modification that is important for gene regulation
and genome stability. Aberrant patterns of DNA methylation can lead to plant developmental …

Plant intra-individual and inter-individual variation can be determined by the epigenome, a
set of covalent modifications of DNA and chromatin that can alter genome structure and …

Epigenetic modifications in DNA bases and histone proteins play important roles in the
regulation of gene expression and genome stability. Chemical modification of DNA base …

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

Sperm chromatin is typically transformed by protamines into a compact and transcriptionally
inactive state,. Sperm cells of flowering plants lack protamines, yet they have small …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification required for transposable element (TE)
silencing, genome stability, and genomic imprinting. Although DNA methylation has been …

Epigenetic reprogramming in the germline contributes to the erasure of epigenetic
inheritance across generations in mammals but remains poorly characterized in plants. Here …

The establishment, maintenance, and removal of epigenetic modifications provide an
additional layer of regulation, beyond genetically encoded factors, by which plants can …

Active DNA demethylation has emerged as an important regulatory process of plant and
mammalian immunity. However, very little is known about the mechanisms by which active …

Reproductive tissues are a rich source of small RNAs, including several classes of short
interfering (si) RNAs that are restricted to this stage of development. In addition to RNA …
