DNA methylation is a conserved modification that must be precisely regulated during
development to facilitate its roles in silencing transposable elements and regulating gene …

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification of cytosine that is important for silencing gene
transcription and transposons, gene imprinting, development, and seed viability. DNA …

Tissue specific patterns of methylated cytosine residues vary with age, can be altered by
environmental factors, and are often abnormal in human disease yet the cellular …

DNA methylation can play important roles in the regulation of transposable elements and
genes. A collection of mutant alleles for 11 maize (Zea mays) genes predicted to play roles …

Maintenance of CG methylation (m CG) patterns is essential for chromatin-mediated
epigenetic regulation of transcription in plants and mammals. However, functional links …

To properly regulate the genome, cytosine methylation is established by animal DNA
methyltransferase 3 s (DNMT3s). While altered DNMT3 homologs, Domains rearranged …

Active DNA demethylation underlies key facets of reproduction in flowering plants and
mammals and serves a general genome housekeeping function in plants. A family of 5 …

Seed development is programmed by expression of many genes in plants. Seed maturation
is an important developmental process to soybean seed quality and yield. DNA methylation …

Due to their sessile state, plants are inevitably affected by and respond to the external
environment. So far, plants have developed multiple adaptation and regulation strategies to …

▪ Abstract Methylation of cytosine residues in DNA provides a mechanism of gene control.
There are two classes of methyltransferase in Arabidopsis; one has a carboxy-terminal …
