Experiment was performed to assess the effect of Arabidopsis H1 histones knock-out on DNA methylation under control conditions and a role of H1.3 in maintaining stress-induced menthylation response.
In order to further investigate silencing mechanisms, we screened a mutagenized Arabidopsis thaliana population for expression of SDCpro-GFP, redundantly controlled by DNA methyltransferases DRM2 and
DNA methylation in plant genomes occurs in different sequence and genomic contexts that have very different properties. DNA methylation that occurs in CG (mCG) sequence context shows transgenerational
