Open AccessLocal and global crosstalk among heterochromatin marks drives DNA methylome patterning in Arabidopsis
Transposable elements (TEs) are robustly silenced by multiple epigenetic marks, but dynamics of crosstalk among these marks remains enigmatic. In Arabidopsis, TEs are silenced by cytosine methylation in both C...

Open AccessDNA methylation is reconfigured at the onset of reproduction in rice shoot apical meristem
DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification that specifies the basic state of pluripotent stem cells and regulates the developmental transition from stem cells to various cell types. In flowering plants, the...

Open AccessEvolution of sequence-specific anti-silencing systems in Arabidopsis
The arms race between parasitic sequences and their hosts is a major driving force for evolution of gene control systems. Since transposable elements (TEs) are potentially deleterious, eukaryotes silence them ...

Trans-acting small RNA determines dominance relationships in Brassica self-incompatibility
In diploid organisms, the expression levels of the two inherited alleles can be biased by dominant or recessive relationships, which determine the final phenotype. In Brassica, self-incompatibility in pollen is d...
