Iron is an essential element for all photosynthetic organisms. The biological use of this
transition metal is as an enzyme cofactor, predominantly in electron transfer and catalysis …

Detection of plant and animal pathogens triggers a massive transcriptional reprogramming,
which is directed by chromatin-based processes, and ultimately results in antimicrobial …

Homologous recombination-based gene targeting is a powerful tool for precise genome
modification and has been widely used in organisms ranging from yeast to higher organisms …

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

Active DNA demethylation has emerged as an important regulatory process of plant and
mammalian immunity. However, very little is known about the mechanisms by which active …

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

The legume–Rhizobium symbiosis leads to the formation of a new organ, the root nodule,
involving coordinated and massive induction of specific genes. Several genes controlling …

DNA glycosylases safeguard the genome by locating and excising a diverse array of
aberrant nucleobases created from oxidation, alkylation, and deamination of DNA. Since the …

Active DNA demethylation regulates many vital biological processes, including early
development and locus-specific gene expression in plants and animals. In Arabidopsis …

Active DNA demethylation plays a crucial role in eukaryotic gene imprinting and
antagonizing DNA methylation. The plant-specific REPRESSOR OF SILENCING …
