Mittelsten Scheid O, Paszkowski J
Abstract excerpt
Genetic approaches to identify molecular components of transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) in plants have yielded several Arabidopsis thaliana mutants and identified the first genes involved. All mutations found affect the maintenance of silencing and reactivate silent genes in trans. The mutations fall into two categories: ddm1 and hog release silencing in association with decreased levels of DNA methylation,...
