Abstract excerpt
On fertilization in Arabidopsis thaliana, one maternal gamete, the central cell, forms a placenta-like tissue, the endosperm. The DNA glycosylase DEMETER (DME) excises 5-methylcytosine via the base excision repair pathway in the central cell before fertilization, creating patterns of asymmetric DNA methylation and maternal gene expression across DNA replications in the endosperm lineage (EDL). Active DNA...
