Epigenetic and transcriptional consequences of chemically induced transposon mobilization in the endosperm

This study investigates the effects of chemically induced transposon mobilization on genomic imprinting in Arabidopsis endosperm, showing preferential targeting of maternally expressed genes and transcriptional deregulation.

Combinations of maternal-specific repressive epigenetic marks in the endosperm control seed dormancy

The paper shows that combinations of repressive epigenetic marks in Arabidopsis endosperm regulate seed dormancy by modulating REF6 activity during germination.

Transgenerational effect of mutants in the RNA-directed DNA methylation pathway on the triploid block

Inbreeding of RdDM mutants enhances their ability to suppress the triploid block across generations.

Epigenetic signatures associated with imprinted paternally-expressed genes in the Arabidopsis endosperm

The paper identifies an epigenetic signature in Arabidopsis endosperm that marks imprinted paternally-expressed genes and predicts new ones with high accuracy.
