In mammals and flowering plants chromatin is modified by DNA methylation (5mC) and
methylation of lysine residues of the N-terminal tail of histone H3 that reflect transcriptional …

Recent studies have shown that correlations between chromatin modifications and
transcription vary among eukaryotes. This is the case for marked differences between the …

DNA methylation plays a vital role in diverse biological processes. DNA methyltransferases
(DNMTs) genes and RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM)-related genes are key genes …

Pseudotsuga gaussenii is a forest species under protection in China. Propagation via
somatic embryogenesis is efficient and needed for recovering this species. In this research …

The nucleosome remodeling protein decrease in DNA methylation 1 (DDM1)/Lsh maintains
normal levels of DNA methylation. Direct interaction between Lsh and DNA …

Heterochromatin is the predominant architectural feature of genomes that ensures genomic
stability across eukaryotes. It mostly functions in restricting expression of repeats, mobile …

DNA methylation in plants occurs in CG, CHG, and CHH sites. While depletion of CG
methylation in transposons is associated with ample transcriptional activation, it was mainly …

The genome employs both epigenetic and genetic pathways to generate responses to
various internal and external stimuli. Epigenesis refers to the process by which chemical …

The liverwort Marchantia polymorpha has been utilized as a model for biological studies
since the 18th century. In the past few decades there has been a Renaissance in its …

Epigenetic regulation is highly conserved in eukaryotes. In general, events mediated by the
genome–such as the regulation of gene activity and establishment and arrangement of …
