Abstract excerpt
The Arabidopsis thaliana DDM1 (Decreased DNA Methylation) gene is necessary for the maintenance of DNA methylation and heterochromatin assembly. In Arabidopsis, ddm1 mutants exhibit strong but delayed morphological phenotypes. We used RNA interference (RNAi) to suppress transcripts of two ortholo...
