Abstract excerpt
Histone methylation and demethylation play important roles in plant growth and development, but the involvement of histone demethylation during meiosis is poorly understood. Here we show that disruption of Arabidopsis thaliana INCREASE IN BONSAI METHYLATION 1 (IBM1) causes incomplete synapsis, chromosome entanglement and reduction of recombination during meiosis, leading to sterility. Interestingly, these ibm1...
