… methyltransferases are employed to maintain cytosine methylation at different … plant DNA
methylation studies in recent years. We first discuss the DNA methylation landscapes in plants. …

… In this review we suggest that variation in DNA methylation may be a part of this
underlying mechanism and will describe the role that DNA methylation variation might play. …

… between differential DNA methylation and imprinted gene expression in plants. We …
endosperm methylation patterns and outline and assess current models for how DNA methylation …

… However, the mechanism by which DNA methylation was induced remained elusive for
many years. In plants, DNA methylation was widely considered to be mediated by DNA–DNA …

… Little is known about patterns of genic DNA methylation across the plant kingdom or about
the … on DNA methylation vary substantially across species, genes and methylation contexts. …

… regularity of DNA methylation during plant growth and development. The results of this study
also provide evidence for a better understanding of the role of DNA methylation in specific …
