Reconsidering plant memory: Intersections between stress recovery, RNA turnover, and epigenetics (2016, background): “This activation is only transient owing to the resilencing activity of DDM1 and MOM1, which reset the prior epigenetic state (80, 81, 83, 84).”

Transposable elements contribute to activation of maize genes in response to abiotic stress (2014, background): “The Arabidopsis retrotransposon ONSEN is transcriptionally activated by heat stress [16], [28]-[29].”
Widespread dynamic DNA methylation in response to biotic stress (2012, background): “Notably, methylation-independent transcriptional activation of the ONSEN transposon is triggered by heat stress and results in coinduction of the proximal proteincoding gene (21).”
