DNA methylation in plants - Vaniushin, B. F.; Ashapkin, Vasili V. (New York : Nova Science Publishers, 2009)
Introduction -- Is the cytosine DNA methylation at all important? -- Are transposable sequences silenced by cytosine methylation? -- Are multicopy genes silenced by cytosine methylation? -- Is gene silencing always associated with their methylation? -- Are the epigenetic changes inheritable? -- Cytosine DNA-methyltransferases: how many of them are needed? -- Are there signals for the de novo DNA methylation? -- Is DNA methylation itself regulated by DNA methylation? -- H3 histone methylation or how DNA methylation patterns are established and maintained? -- Is dsRNA an another way of establishing DNA methylation patterns? -- Adenine DNA methylation -- Adenine DNA-methyltransferases -- Putative role of adenine DNA methylation in plants -- Conclusion.
