DNA demethylation affects imprinted gene expression in maize endosperm

Abstract Background DNA demethylation occurs in many species and is involved in diverse biological processes. However, the occurrence and role of DNA demethylation in maize remain unknown. Results We analyze loss-of-function mutants of two major genes encoding DNA demethylases. No significant change...
