Abstract excerpt
Histone H3 lysine 9 methylation (H3K9me) is a conserved epigenetic mark for transcriptional gene repression. In Arabidopsis, H3K9 dimethylation (H3K9me2) promotes the removal of a transcription-associated mark, H3K4 monomethylation (H3K4me1), and this process within genes requires the histone demethylase LDL2. However, how LDL2 specifically functions in genes that accumulate H3K9me2 remains unknown. Here, we show...
