Active DNA demethylation underlies key facets of reproduction in flowering plants and
mammals and serves a general genome housekeeping function in plants. A family of 5 …

Cytosine bases of the nuclear genome in higher plants are often extensively methylated.
Cytosine methylation has been implicated in the silencing of both transposable elements …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark associated with transposable element silencing and
gene imprinting in flowering plants and mammals. In plants, imprinting occurs in the …

The present work investigates the occurrence and significance of aberrant DNA methylation
patterns during early stages of atherosclerosis. To this end, we asked whether the …

Imprinting describes the differential expression of alleles based on their parent of origin.
Deep sequencing of RNAs from maize (Zea mays) endosperm and embryo tissue 14 d after …

Differential expression of maternally and paternally inherited alleles of a gene is referred to
as gene imprinting, a form of epigenetic gene regulation common to flowering plants and …

Chromatin modifications and epigenetics may play important roles in many plant processes,
including developmental regulation, responses to environmental stimuli, and local …

Plant improvement depends on generating phenotypic variation and selecting for
characteristics that are heritable. Classical genetics and early molecular genetics studies on …
