Extensive demethylation of repetitive elements during seed development underlies gene imprinting.

Science (New York, N.Y.) - 12 Jun 2009

Gehring Mary, Bubb Kerry L, Henikoff Steven

Abstract excerpt

DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark associated with transposable element silencing and gene imprinting in flowering plants and mammals. In plants, imprinting occurs in the endosperm, which nourishes the embryo during seed development. We have profiled Arabidopsis DNA methylation genome-wide in the embryo and endosperm and found that large-scale methylation changes accompany endosperm development and...
