Detailed insight into the dynamics of the initial phases of de novo RNA-directed DNA methylation in plant cells

Abstract Background Methylation of cytosines is an evolutionarily conserved epigenetic mark that is essential for the control of chromatin activity in many taxa. It acts mainly repressively, causing transcriptional gene silencing. In plants, de novo DNA methylation is established mainly by RNA-direc...
