Nurse cell-derived small RNAs define paternal epigenetic inheritance in <i>Arabidopsis</i>
2021-01-26
Abstract excerpt
The plant male germline undergoes DNA methylation reprogramming, which methylates genes de novo and thereby alters gene expression and facilitates meiosis. Why reprogramming is limited to the germline and how specific genes are chosen is unknown. Here, we demonstrate that genic methylation in the male germline, from meiocytes to sperm, is established by germline-specific siRNAs transcribed from transposons with i...
