Synthetic maize centromeres transmit chromosomes across generations

R. Kelly Dawe, Jonathan Isaiah Gent, Yibing Zeng, Han Zhang, Fangfang Fu, Kyle W Swentowsky, Dong Won Kim, Na Wang, Jianing Liu, Rebecca D. Piri

The paper demonstrates the feasibility of using synthetic centromeres in maize to transmit chromosomes across generations through a LexA-CENH3 tethering approach.

The maize gene maternal derepression of r1 (mdr1) encodes a DNA glycosylase that demethylates DNA and reduces siRNA expression in endosperm

Jonathan Isaiah Gent, Kaitlin Higgins, Kyle W Swentowsky, Fangfang Fu, Yibing Zeng, Dong won Kim, R. Kelly Dawe, Nathan M. Springer, Sarah N. Anderson

This paper identifies MDR1 as a DNA glycosylase in maize that demethylates DNA and reduces siRNA expression in endosperm, challenging the role of demethylation in transposon repression and genomic imprinting.

Reprogramming of 24nt siRNAs in rice gametes

Chenxin Li, Hengping Xu, Fangfang Fu, Scott D. Russell, Venkatesan Sundaresan, Jonathan Isaiah Gent

The paper characterizes 24nt siRNA distributions in rice gametes, revealing distinct patterns compared to vegetative tissues and suggesting reprogramming of small RNA pathways in gametes.

Loss of mCHH islands in maize chromomethylase and DDM1-type nucleosome remodeler mutants

Fangfang Fu, R. Kelly Dawe, Jonathan Isaiah Gent

The paper examines DNA methylation and small RNA expression in maize mutants lacking chromomethylases and DDM1-type nucleosome remodelers, revealing a role for chromomethylation and DDM1 in RdDM at mCHH islands.
