Abstract excerpt
DECREASED IN DNA METHYLATION 1 (DDM1) is a chromatin remodeling factor that plays a major role in maintaining heterochromatin silencing and DNA methylation in plants. The soybean (Glycine max) genome, known for its large amount of pericentric heterochromatin, contains two DDM1 orthologs: GmDDM1a and GmDDM1b. In order to understand their functional roles in seed development, a process in which DNA methylation...
