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 …

Gene silencing is a negative feedback mechanism that regulates gene expression to define
cell fate and also regulates metabolism and gene expression throughout the life of an …

RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is a biological process in which non-coding RNA
molecules direct the addition of DNA methylation to specific DNA sequences. The RdDM …

RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is required for transcriptional silencing of
transposons and other DNA repeats in Arabidopsis thaliana. Although previous research …

RNA-directed chromatin modification that includes cytosine methylation silences
transposable elements in both plants and mammals, contributing to genome defense and …

Transcriptional gene silencing controls the activity of transposable elements and expression
of protein-coding genes. It requires non-coding transcription, which in plants is performed by …

The evolutionary conserved WD-40 protein PRL1 plays important roles in immunity and
development. Here we show that PRL1 is required for the accumulation of microRNAs …

DNA cytosine methylationis an important epigenetic process that is correlated with
transgene silencing, transposon suppression, and gene imprinting. In plants, small …

Ribonucleic acid‐mediated transcriptional gene silencing (known as RNA‐directed DNA
methylation, or Rd DM, in A rabidopsis thaliana) is important for influencing gene expression …

In Arabidopsis thaliana, nuclear multisubunit RNA polymerase IV (Pol IV) and RNA-
DEPENDENT RNA POLYMERASE 2 (RDR2) are required for the biogenesis of 24 …
