RGF1, a secreted peptide hormone, plays key roles in root meristem development in Arabidopsis. Previous studies indicated that a functional RGF1 needs to be sulfated at a tyrosine residue by a tyrosylprotein sulfotran...
RNA-Dirccicd DNA mcthylation(RdDM)is an imporiant de novo DNA mcthylution pathway in plant.Small interfering RNAs…are requircd to maintain DNAmethylation at only a subect of loct.
Dear Editor, Active DNA demethylation plays crucial roles in the regulation of gene expression and gene imprinting. In plants, active DNA demethylation is initiated by the ROS1/DME family of 5-methylcytosine-specific ...
