Methylation of DNA and of histone 3 at Lys 9 (H3K9) are highly correlated with gene
silencing in eukaryotes from fungi to humans. Both of these epigenetic marks need to be …

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

Hornworts, liverworts and mosses are three early diverging clades of land plants, and
together comprise the bryophytes. Here, we report the draft genome sequence of the …

DNA methylation is an important epigenetic mark involved in many biological processes.
The genome of the climacteric tomato fruit undergoes a global loss of DNA methylation due …

In plants, genomic DNA methylation which contributes to development and stress responses
can be actively removed by DEMETER-like DNA demethylases (DMLs). Indeed, in …

▪ Abstract Large-genome eukaryotes use heritable cytosine methylation to silence
promoters, especially those associated with transposons and imprinted genes. Cytosine …

Epigenetic silenced alleles of the Arabidopsis SUPERMAN locus (the clark kent alleles) are
associated with dense hypermethylation at noncanonical cytosines (CpXpG and asymmetric …

DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic gene-regulation mechanism. DOMAINS
REARRANGED METHYLTRANSFERASE (DRM) is a key de novo methyltransferase in …

We describe the isolation and characterization of two missense mutations in the cytosine-
DNA-methyl-transferase gene, MET1, from the flowering plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Both …

DNA methyltransferases catalyze the transfer of a methyl group from S‐adenosyl‐l‐
methionine to cytosine or adenine bases in DNA. These enzymes challenge the …
