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 …

The primary sequence of the genome is broadly constant and superimposed upon that
constancy is the postreplicative modification of a small number of cytosine residues to 5 …

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 …

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

Cytosine bases are extensively methylated in the DNA of plant genomes. DNA methylation
has been implicated in the silencing of transposable elements and genes, and loss of …

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

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