Reinforcement of CHH methylation through RNA-directed DNA methylation ensures sexual reproduction in rice

Lili Wang et al.

Summary: This study reveals the importance of RNA-directed DNA methylation in rice for proper expression of developmental genes and fertility. Mutations in the OsRDR2 gene result in decreased accumulation of small interfering RNAs and CHH methylation, leading to disrupted reproductive development and sterility. OsRDR2-dependent DNA methylation may regulate the expression of key genes involved in stamen development, meiosis, and pollen viability.

The CLASSY family controls tissue-specific DNA methylation patterns in Arabidopsis

Ming Zhou et al.

Summary: This study reveals that CLASSY proteins regulate DNA methylation at specific loci in the Arabidopsis genome and control tissue-specific methylation patterns. The lack of individual CLASSY proteins can lead to changes in the epigenetic landscape between tissues, contributing to epigenetic diversity during plant development.

GENESPACE tracks regions of interest and gene copy number variation across multiple genomes

John T. Lovell et al.

Summary: The development of multiple chromosome-scale reference genome sequences has provided a high-resolution view of molecular evolution patterns and processes. However, leveraging information across multiple genomes remains a challenge in eukaryotic systems. GENESPACE addresses these challenges by integrating conserved gene order and orthology. It offers a significant contribution to existing gene family and synteny programs, particularly in complex genomes.

CHH DNA methylation increases at 24-PHAS loci depend on 24-nt phased small interfering RNAs in maize meiotic anthers

Mei Zhang et al.

Summary: In maize, the 24-nt phasiRNAs are essential for targeting increased DNA methylation at specific loci in anthers, and not just for transcriptional activation of PHAS precursors. Mutants of male sterile23 and Dicer-like5 genes lack sufficient 24-nt phasiRNAs, showing the importance of these small RNA molecules in regulating male fertility.

MSI4/FVE is required for accumulation of 24-nt siRNAs and DNA methylation at a subset of target regions of RNA-directed DNA methylation

Pei Huang et al.

Summary: Research indicates that FVE plays a key role in DNA methylation at thousands of RdDM target regions and reduces the accumulation of 24-nucleotide siRNA. By physically interacting, FVE may function together with the downstream factor RDM15 in the RdDM pathway.

The effect of RNA polymerase V on 24-nt siRNA accumulation depends on DNA methylation contexts and histone modifications in rice

Kezhi Zheng et al.

Summary: This study reveals the essential role of rice Pol V in CHH methylation on RdDM loci, as well as its impact on the production and accumulation of 24-nt siRNAs. Pol V functions on loci with high CHH methylation levels and low CG and CHG methylation levels, while being not required on other loci.

Nurse cell-derived small RNAs define paternal epigenetic inheritance in Arabidopsis

Jincheng Long et al.

Summary: The study reveals the molecular mechanism of DNA methylation reprogramming in plant male germline. Small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) synthesized by meiocyte nurse cells establish genic methylation and safeguard genome integrity through tapetal siRNAs.

De novo assembly, annotation, and comparative analysis of 26 diverse maize genomes

Matthew B. Hufford et al.

Summary: The study reports de novo genome assemblies, transcriptomes, annotations, and methylomes for 26 maize inbreds, with over 103,000 pangenes identified. It shows that the ancient tetraploid character of maize continues to degrade by fractionation, and reveals variation in DNA methylation levels across genotypes.

An epigenetic basis of inbreeding depression in maize

Tongwen Han et al.

Summary: Inbreeding depression in maize is associated with epigenetic modifications including hypermethylation and changes in chromatin accessibility, leading to down-regulation of hundreds of genes involved in plant growth and development. Random mating can reverse these epigenetic changes and restore growth vigor.
