Potent pollen gene regulation by DNA glycosylases in maize
Abstract Although DNA methylation primarily represses TEs, it also represses select genes that are methylated in plant body tissues but demethylated by DNA glycosylases (DNGs) in endosperm or pollen. Either one of two DNGs, MATERNAL DEREPRESSION OF R1 (MDR1) or DNG102, is essential for pollen viabil...
