Distinct regulatory pathways contribute to dynamic CHH methylation patterns in transposable elements throughout Arabidopsis embryogenesis
FRONTIERS IN PLANT SCIENCE, 14.
author keywords: DNA methylation; CHH methylation; transposable elements; CMT2; RdDM; embryogenesis
TL;DR:
DNA methylome profiling at five stages of Arabidopsis embryogenesis revealed that the gradual increase in mCHH in embryos coincided with the expansion of small RNA expression and regional m CHH spreading to nearby sites at numerous loci, and highlighted the interplay between the length, location, and cytosine frequency of transposons and themCHH machinery in modulating mCHh dynamics during embryogenesis.

Embryo-specific epigenetic mechanisms reconstitute the CHH methylation landscape during Arabidopsis embryogenesis
Hsieh, P.-H., Frost, J. M., Choi, Y., Hsieh, T.-F., Zilberman, D., & Fischer, R. L. (2023, April 8).
TL;DR:
It is revealed that embryos are more methylated than leaves at shared CMT2 and RdDM targeting loci, accounting for most embryonic CHH hypermethylation, and similar overlap with vegetative cell DEMETER targets indicates that the chromatin landscape that allows DEMetER access is mirrored in developing embryos, permitting CHH methylation catalysis at the same loci.

Admixture of divergent genomes facilitates hybridization across species in the family Brassicaceae
Shin, H., Park, J. E., Park, H. R., Choi, W. L., Yu, S. H., Koh, W., … Huh, J. H. (2022, April 28). NEW PHYTOLOGIST, Vol. 4.
author keywords: allopolyploidy; Brassicaceae; DNA methylation; epigenome; genome divergence; hybrid; xBrassicoraphanus
MeSH headings : Brassicaceae / genetics; DNA Methylation / genetics; Genome, Plant; Hybridization, Genetic
TL;DR:
The results demonstrate that hybrid genome stabilization and transcription compatibility necessitate epigenome landscape adjustment and rewiring of cis–trans interactions, which suggests that a certain extent of genome divergence facilitates hybridization across species, which may explain the great diversification and expansion of angiosperms during evolution.

TL;DR:
Endosperm gene imprinting can be uncoupled from seed development when fertilization of the central cell is prevented, thereby preventing parthenogenic development of the endosperm.

DEMETER DNA Glycosylase Establishes MEDEA Polycomb Gene Self-Imprinting by Allele-Specific Demethylation
Cell, 124(3), 495–506.
MeSH headings : Alleles; Arabidopsis / genetics; Arabidopsis / metabolism; Arabidopsis Proteins / genetics; Arabidopsis Proteins / metabolism; Base Pair Mismatch; Base Sequence; DNA Methylation; DNA, Plant / genetics; DNA, Plant / metabolism; Escherichia coli / genetics; Escherichia coli / metabolism; Gene Silencing; Genes, Plant; Genomic Imprinting; Models, Genetic; N-Glycosyl Hydrolases / genetics; N-Glycosyl Hydrolases / metabolism; Recombinant Proteins / genetics; Recombinant Proteins / metabolism; Trans-Activators / genetics; Trans-Activators / metabolism
TL;DR:
DME is responsible for endosperm maternal-allele-specific hypomethylation at the MEA gene, which establishes MEA imprinting by removing 5-methylcytosine to activate the maternal allele and is subsequently maintained in theendosperm by maternal MEA silencing the paternal allele.

MeSH headings : Chromatin / chemistry; Chromatin / genetics; Chromatin / physiology; DNA Methylation; Epigenesis, Genetic; Histones / metabolism; RNA Interference
TL;DR:
A large number of factors and protein complexes are now known to be involved in regulating the dynamic states of chromatin structure, and their biological functions and molecular mechanisms are beginning to be revealed.

From flour to flower: how Polycomb group proteins influence multiple aspects of plant development

TL;DR:
Polycomb group (PcG) proteins form a cellular memory system that maintains the repressed state of homeotic gene expression and might function through a similar biochemical mechanism owing to their conserved structural and functional relationship to animal PcG proteins.

TL;DR:
In vivo assays in yeast demonstrate that AtNAM encodes a transcription factor and that the NAC domain includes a specific DNA binding domain (DBD), which potentially folds into a helix-turn-helix motif that specifically binds to the CaMV 35S promoter.
