Abstract excerpt
Transcriptional gene silencing (TGS) is often associated with promoter methylation in both animals and plants. However, the function of DNA methylation in the intragenic region remains unclear. Here, we confirmed that promoter methylation of FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) led to gene silencing; in contrast, we found that intragenic methylation triggered by RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) promoted FT expression. DNA...
