Abstract excerpt
DNA methylation is a critical epigenetic modification in plants that regulates gene expression, silences transposable elements (TEs), and supports proper development. Traditionally, heritable epimutations in plants have been generated using genetic mutants or chemical inhibitors, but these approaches often lack precision or stability. In this study, we investigated the effects of globally altering DNA methylation...
