Abstract excerpt
KEY MESSAGE: MEM1 participates in ROS1-mediated DNA demethylation pathway, and acts functionally as ROS3 to counteract the effects of RdDM pathway.mem1mutation leads to large numbers of hyper-DMRs inArabidopsisgenome. In higher plants, DNA methylation performs important functions in silencing transcribed genes and transposable elements (TEs). Active DNA demethylation mediated by REPRESSOR OF SILENCING 1 (ROS1) is...
