DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that regulates multiple processes, such as gene
expression and genome stability. Mutants and pharmacological treatments have been …

Plant DNA methylation is its own language, interpreted by the cell to maintain silencing of
transposons, facilitate chromatin structure, and to ensure proper expression of some genes …

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 …

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 …

A contribution of DNA methylation to defense against invading nucleic acids and
maintenance of genome integrity is uncontested; however, our understanding of the extent …

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

Cytosine methylation is an important base modification that is inherited across mitotic and
meiotic cell divisions in plant genomes. Heritable methylation variants can contribute to …

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

Little is known about patterns of genic DNA methylation across the plant kingdom or about
the evolutionary processes that shape them. To characterize gene-body methylation (gbM) …
