Abstract excerpt
H3K27me3 is a repressive chromatin mark of genes and is catalyzed by homologs of Enhancer of zeste [E(z)], a component of Polycomb-repressive complex 2 (PRC2), while DNA methylation that occurs in CG and non-CG (CHG and CHH, where H is A, C, or T) contexts is a hallmark of transposon silencing in plants. However, the relationship between H3K27me3 and DNA methylation in gene repression remains unclear. In...
