Abstract excerpt
MAIN CONCLUSION: N6-methyladenine (6mA) DNA accumulates during chloroplast maturation in Agave angustifolia Haw. and covaries with METTL4 protein abundance, identifying 6mA as a candidate epigenetic mark associated with plastid biogenesis. Chloroplast development requires precise coordination of nuclear and organellar genomes, yet the epigenetic mechanisms regulating this process remain poorly understood. Here,...
