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 …

In eukaryotic cells, gene expression is greatly influenced by the dynamic chromatin
environment. Epigenetic mechanisms, including covalent modifications to DNA and histone …

Epigenetic modifications in DNA bases and histone proteins play important roles in the
regulation of gene expression and genome stability. Chemical modification of DNA base …

DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic mark important for genome integrity,
development, and environmental responses in plants and mammals. Active DNA …

Within the life cycle of a living organism, another life cycle exists for the selfish genome
inhabitants, which are called transposable elements (TEs). These mobile sequences invade …

Communication between interacting organisms via bioactive molecules is widespread in
nature and plays key roles in diverse biological processes. Small RNAs (sRNAs) can travel …

DNA methylation is a conserved and important epigenetic mark in both mammals and
plants. DNA methylation can be dynamically established, maintained, and removed through …

Active DNA demethylation (enzymatic removal of methylated cytosine) regulates many plant
developmental processes. In Arabidopsis, active DNA demethylation entails the base …

Active DNA demethylation is critical for controlling the DNA methylomes in plants and
mammals. However, little is known about how DNA demethylases are recruited to target loci …

Environmental stress from climate change and agricultural activity threatens global plant
biodiversity as well as crop yield and quality. As sessile organisms, plants must maintain the …
