Gene body methylation buffers noise in gene expression in plants

Jakub Zastąpiło, Robyn A. Emmerson, Liudmila A Mikheeva, Marco Catoni, Ulrike Bechtold, Nicolae Radu Zabet

The paper shows gene body methylation reduces gene expression noise in Arabidopsis thaliana by linking methylation levels to expression variability.

DNA methylation contributes to plant acclimation to naturally fluctuating light

Robyn A. Emmerson, Phillip A. Davey, Mouesanao Kandjoze, Ulrike Bechtold, Nicolae Radu Zabet, Tracy Lawson

This study shows that DNA methylation changes in Arabidopsis thaliana under fluctuating light conditions compared to square light, affecting gene expression and transposable elements.
