Epigenetics in plant tissue culture (2011, background): “Imprinting also occurs during plant endosperm development (Hsieh et al. 2009).”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, neutral): “However, due to DME-mediated DNA de-methylation in the endosperm, this gene will remain expressed in the endosperm and can adopt an imprinted expression (Gehring et al., 2009; Hsieh et al., 2009).”
DNA methylation: superior or subordinate in the epigenetic hierarchy? (2011, background): “Active demethylation in plants is carried out by 5-methylcytosine (5mC) DNA glycosylases such as Demeter and Demeter-like proteins.(103,104) However, this class of enzymes has not been identified in mammals.”
Transgenerational Epigenetic Inheritance: myths and mechanisms (2014, neutral): “The endosperm also acts a source of mobile small RNA that may reinforce RdDM in the embryo (Hsieh et al., 2009).”
Plant microRNAs: new players in functional genomics (2013, neutral): “…expression profiles could be differentiated under a variety of stress conditions including drought (Barrera-Figueroa et al. 2011; Wang et al. 2011b), cold (Zhang et al. 2009), phosphate deficiency (Hsieh et al. 2009), sulfate deficiency (Huang et al. 2010), and fungal infection (Xin et al. 2011).”
Establishing, maintaining and modifying DNA methylation patterns in plants and animals (2010, background): “thaliana , these changes may reinforce transposon silencing in the sperm and egg cell”
Widespread dynamic DNA methylation in response to biotic stress (2012, background): “In the seed, hypermethylation of transposable elements (TEs) in the embryo genome, along with pervasive demethylation of the embryo-nourishing endosperm genome by DME, function to silence TEs and coordinate gene imprinting, respectively, and are hallmarks of early development (7, 8).”
DNA-methylation changes induced by salt stress in wheat Triticum aestivum (2009, background): “DNA demethylation by DME occurs during reproductive development and is required for genomic imprinting and seed viability (Choi et al., 2002; Gehring et al., 2006; Huh et al., 2008; Makarevich et al., 2008; Tiwaria et al., 2008; Hsieh et al., 2009).”
