Simple Summary Research on plant epigenetics aims to understand how endogenous,
biotic, and abiotic factors regulate plant development and growth independent of changes in …

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

Understanding genomic functions requires site-specific manipulation of loci via efficient
protein effector targeting systems. However, few approaches for targeted manipulation of the …

▪ Abstract Large-genome eukaryotes use heritable cytosine methylation to silence
promoters, especially those associated with transposons and imprinted genes. Cytosine …

Cytosine methylation is important for transposon silencing and epigenetic regulation of
endogenous genes, although the extent to which this DNA modification functions to regulate …

Multicellular eukaryotes produce small RNA molecules (approximately 21–24 nucleotides)
of two general types, microRNA (miRNA) and short interfering RNA (siRNA). They …

Cytosine methylation, a common form of DNA modification that antagonizes transcription, is
found at transposons and repeats in vertebrates, plants and fungi. Here we have mapped …

Phenotypic variation is traditionally parsed into components that are directed by genetic and
environmental variation. The line between these two components is blurred by inherited …

Loss or gain of DNA methylation can affect gene expression and is sometimes transmitted
across generations. Such epigenetic alterations are thus a possible source of heritable …

Epigenetic silenced alleles of the Arabidopsis SUPERMAN locus (the clark kent alleles) are
associated with dense hypermethylation at noncanonical cytosines (CpXpG and asymmetric …
