The stem rust fungus <i>Puccinia graminis</i> f. sp. <i>tritici</i> induces centromeric small RNAs during late infection that direct genome-wide DNA methylation
2018-11-14
Abstract excerpt
<h4>Background</h4> Silencing of transposable elements (TEs) is essential for maintaining genome stability. Plants use small RNAs (sRNAs) to direct DNA methylation to TEs (RNA-directed DNA methylation; RdDM). Similar mechanisms of epigenetic silencing in the fungal kingdom have remained elusive. <h4>Results</h4> We use sRNA sequencing and methylation data to gain insight into epigenetics in the dikaryotic fungus...
