Abstract excerpt
Transposable elements (TEs) contribute to plant evolution, development, and adaptation to environmental changes, but the regulatory mechanisms are largely unknown. RNA-directed DNA methylation (RdDM) is 1 TE regulatory mechanism in plants. Here, we identified that novel ARGONAUTE 1 (AGO1)-binding Tudor domain proteins Precocious dissociation of sisters C/E (PDS5C/E) are involved in 24-nt siRNA production to...
