Cytosine DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification in eukaryotes that maintains
genome integrity and regulates gene expression. The DNA methylation patterns in plants …

DNA in plants is highly methylated, containing 5-methylcytosine (m 5 C) and N 6-
methyladenine (m 6 A); m 5 C is located mainly in symmetrical CG and CNG sequences but …

▪ Abstract In many eukaryotes, including plants, DNA methylation provides a heritable mark
that guides formation of transcriptionally silent heterochromatin. In plants, aberrant RNA …

DNA methylation is a type of epigenetic marking that strongly influences chromatin structure
and gene expression in plants and mammals. Over the past decade, DNA methylation has …

A relatively high degree of nuclear DNA (nDNA) methylation is a specific feature of plant
genomes. Targets for cytosine DNA methylation in plant genomes are CG, CHG and CHH (H …

DNA methylation is a common phenomenon in plants. In plant genomes, its level is
comparatively lower than that of animal genomes. It is involved in gene regulation and …

Cytosine DNA methylation is a stable epigenetic mark that is crucial for diverse biological
processes, including gene and transposon silencing, imprinting and X chromosome …

Plants contain three distinct DNA methyltransferase types that are responsible for the
establishment and maintenance of cytosine methylation patterns at heterochromatic and …

DNA methylation is an ancient process found in all domains of life. Although the enzymes
that mediate methylation have remained highly conserved, DNA methylation has been …

Abstract RNA Directed DNA Methylation (RdDM) is a pathway that mediates de novo DNA
methylation, an evolutionary conserved chemical modification of cytosine bases, which …
