Heritable changes of epialleles in maize can be triggered in the absence of DNA methylation

Beibei Liu, Diya Yang, Dafang Wang…·Meixia Zhao

The paper shows hybridization in maize triggers global changes in trans-chromosomal methylation and demethylation, which can be maintained in subsequent generations, independent of Mop1 function.

RNA-directed DNA methylation prevents rapid and heritable reversal of transposon silencing under heat stress in Zea mays.

Wei Guo, Dafang Wang, Damon R. Lisch

This study shows that DNA methylation in maize prevents heat-induced, heritable changes in histone modifications that silence transposons, even after methylation is restored.

siRNA-mediated de novo silencing of Ac/Ds transposons is initiated by alternative transposition in maize

Dafang Wang, Peifen Zhang, Tao Zuo…·Thomas Peterson

The paper shows that alternative transposition generates inverted duplications that produce siRNAs, leading to heritable silencing of maize Ac/Ds transposons.
