Molecular mechanisms and biological functions of active DNA demethylation in plants

Abstract DNA methylation is a conserved epigenetic modification that plays important roles in silencing transposable elements, regulating gene expression, and maintaining genome stability. In plants, DNA methylation is de novo established by the RNA-directed DNA methylation pathway and maintained du...
